With white Jewish lesbians for parents and two adopted brothers,

about her African-American roots compels her to contact her birth

identity that threatens to distance her from her family. Off
and Running follows Avery on her quest as she attempts to pick
up the pieces of her life and make sense of her place in the world.

DVD:
Chapel/Chapter
Created by & starring: Bill
T Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company
Chapel/Chapter features DBR performing with The Bill T
Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company, and music composed by DBR. Chapel/Chapter
retells three stories, two of them high visibility news items and
one a reminiscence/ confession offered by a company member. It creates
a self-enclosed world and a language made up of song, music and
words (court transcripts, newspaper articles and jailhouse interviews)
in dialog with a rigorous, joyful movement vocabulary. Chapel/Chapter
proceeds from the assumption that we always live in the court of
public opinion, transgression and judgment.
