Base Residency Entry Point with Constance Strickland

July 19, 2025 @ 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm
$10 – $55.50

During her Base Residency, Constance Strickland will build a physical score for A Study on the Weight of Blackness (Unveils): The Resilience of Being Black, a solo that merges years of movement memory/ research with vocal investigations rooted in her own poetry and text.

Going through a series of seven movements, Strickland will trace and honor her maternal ancestral heritage, using voice as a vessel for remembrance and reconnection. She will also continue her exploration of sculptural creation using natural materials such as earth, wood, and collected plants. These elements are not merely aesthetic—they are extensions of lineage and land, grounding the work in a tactile relationship to ancestry, ritual, and resilience.

Space is limited; we recommend reserving a ticket in advance. Masks are encouraged, but not required at Base.

ADA/Accessibility Information
Accessibility at Base: The Factory has a ramped entrance located at the north end of the building (through the orange door); the southern entrance of the building is only accessible by stairs. The building has limited outside lighting and can be difficult to navigate and locate when its dark out. Once inside, Base is accessible by ramp through our front doors. Please note that Base is not a scent-free space. The Factory has two gender neutral multi-stall restrooms and two single stall restrooms that are wheelchair accessible. Because we share a building with other studios, there are often industrial noises throughout the building and heavy machinery operated such as forklifts. Any additional accessibility needs/requests for the show? Reach out to aaron@thisisbase.org
