Dance We Do
Olivia Ema and Lex Fefegha
"Dance we do," inspired by Ntozake Shange's book on Black Dance, is an Afro-surrealist dance film. Set in a distant reality where communication occurs through fluid, water-like body movements, the movement in the film takes inspiration from the Ekombi traditional dance of Nigeria's Efik people.
