RUPTURING SILENCE
Dominique C. Hill

Rupturing Silence, is a communal experience of illuminating and shattering silences connected to
family, the politics of academe, and being a queer Black female scholar. Rupturing Silence uses
dance movement, poetry, video and narrative to seamlessly weave the process of research, familial
discovery and healing into a performative event that is at once academic and enlightening.

OCAC’s The Solo Projects is a new venture shaping performance space for original creative work that
allows for a multiplicity of perspectives that give voice and personal insight to various familial issues.
SHE HER HERS is the inaugural lineup for this new grown-up extension of our Family Performance
Series. The Oxford Community Arts Center, in collaboration with Miami University Department of
Theatre and the Department of Educational Leadership, present this dynamic combination of theatrical
performances by powerful female artists. The Family Performance Series is supported by the Miami
University Performing Arts Series and the thousands of individuals, like you, that give generously to
the ArtsWave Community Campaign.
