Collaborator spotlight: @jordon3d
Jordon Ellis Dabney is a life-long lover of art as an expression of culture and the whole self. Since their childhood they’ve studied, practiced and created dance, spoken word, and music as outlets to understand themselves and the world around them. From dancing at YBCA to the Dance Mission, from playing saxophone at Yoshi’s and the Paramount theater to teaching music in the spaces that raised them, Jordon cherishes every opportunity to grow with art, and move humanity forward with Love.

Jordon will be accompanying dazaun soleyn’s work. Come experience and immerse yourself in the excerpt of "may we heal?" 4/10-12!
