song aziza tucker (she/her) is a movement and writing artist whose works have spiraled out of her love for Black femmes, music and poetry. Her latest choreographic work, “After the Flood,” spirals out of the intimate and elaborate study of the trivial, relational and healing properties of hip-hop music and its entanglement with Black femme existence in the U.S.

tucker is wrapped up in the erotic, cathartic, horrific and beautiful reflections of the ways Black femmes survive and pronounce imminent aliveness for themselves. This is lifelong. 

Alongside her research, tucker has had the pleasure of working as a performer and collaborator with Mark Caserta, Tommie-Waheed Evans, Shayla-Vie Jenkins, Jordan Lloyd, Niall Jones, Doug Varone, Jesse Zaritt and Abby Zbikowski, among others. She is an active performing collaborator with Waheedworks and Sheer Spectacle. Through all collaboration, tucker desires and commands a full pronouncement of a voluminous self impelled by Black femme strategies in research and lived practice.
