The Meeting Place is more than a performance—it is a transformative gathering space where individuals embark on a journey of self-discovery through movement. Co-created by visionary artists Esie Mensah and Raechele Lovell, this site-specific dance and theatre work invites participants to explore honesty, integrity, and forgiveness in an immersive artistic experience.
A New Way Forward: Giving to Ourselves First
At the heart of The Meeting Place is the philosophy that true change begins from within. By first giving to ourselves—honoring our needs, embracing self-care, and fostering inner strength—we can extend this offering to our communities. Through movement, the work encourages reflection, healing, and a deeper connection to the self, ultimately guiding participants toward a collective path of liberation.
Dance as a Tool for Transformation
Dance is a powerful medium for storytelling and self-expression. In The Meeting Place, movement becomes a vehicle for honesty, love, and forgiveness. This piece challenges both the dance artists and the audience to step forward with integrity, engaging in an experience that transcends performance and enters the realm of personal and communal transformation.
The Visionary Creators Behind The Meeting Place
Esteemed director, choreographer, and dancer Esie Mensah joins forces with choreographer, dancer, and DiverseWorks Dance Co. director Raechele Lovell to bring this compelling work to life. Both artists are known for their dedication to using dance as a tool for social change, making The Meeting Place a powerful testament to their shared vision of artistic and cultural evolution.

In a world that often prioritizes external validation over internal growth, The Meeting Place serves as a reminder that healing and transformation start from within. By creating a space for movement, reflection, and honesty, this work inspires audiences to reconsider how they engage with themselves and their communities.
