When I am alone I dance.
Unbroken in my fear,
My body is beautiful & necessary.
My song lives in my body where I am free to do
& be whatever I want.
I am vulnerable, I am kind, I am angry,
I am astonished by the miracle that I am,
even when I am alone.
When I reach out to touch the world, to speak out,
to break apart the fear & silence
that was given to me
I am not alone.
An UNSTOPPABLE movement.
As part of our #WeAreUNSTOPPABLE ART project, filmmaker Shruti Ganguly set the words of poet Rachel Eliza Griffiths to music and dance by choreographer Francesca Harper. “This piece shows that while someone may seem alone in this struggle, it is their resilience, determination and love that can change the hearts and minds of even one person, and soon another, and then another… and so on,” says Ganguly. “That’s what starts a movement.”
