Dance artist Italy Bianca Welton’s (Ame-Ricana) springs from the red dirt of South Carolina, her ancestral home.
The young artist—best noted for her work in the Bessie-nominated cast of Marguerite Hemmings’ we free—draws from the spiritual practices and South Carolina’s culture of Black southern herbal healers and farmers.
The unusual title of her solo evokes the memory of her maternal great grandmother who always advised that, to neutralize harm caused by racism and the media, Black people must remember they are truly soul-rich.
