Social Movements: The 1968 Wilmington Uprising and Occupation is a modern dance production looking at the key moments and meaning of Wilmington, Delaware’s historic 1968 riots and the subsequent National Guard Occupation of the city. Set to a background of Freedom Songs from the 1960s, text from official documents, and first-person stories, dancers use their bodies to present the stories of the individuals who lived during this era that has had a profound effect on Wilmington, her citizens, and the greater Delaware community to this day. This production includes the performance of “Riot-Us Behavior” and a scholar-led discussion about the events.
