Described as spiritual, joyful, powerful, and raucous, Shape Note (or Sacred Harp) singing is a traditional American style of four-part, a capella, community singing popular in the United States before the Civil War. This style still thrives across the US and in the UK, with strongholds in the American South and New England. It is called Shape Note because the notes of the scale are indicated by distinctive shapes and names.

Choreographer Rachel Siegel presents “Unconditional Love.” This feminist dance performance explores eating disorders, patriarchy, capitalism, and racism. It is also a celebration of body liberation, pleasure, dancing alone in the mirror, eating mangoes, and shaking off that which binds us. During a time when body fascism and control is increasingly normalized, this performance is a way to push back through collective feminist resistance in the form of creativity and self love.
