Paloma McGregor is a Caribbean-born, New York-based choreographer who makes Black work with Black folks for Black space. A former newspaper reporter and editor, McGregor brings a choreographer\u2019s craft, journalist\u2019s urgency, and community organizer\u2019s framework in the service of big visions. Over the past decade, she\u2019s used performance practice to explore how the body\u2019s presence (or absence) can impel community-driven transformation in embattled public spaces. McGregor is co-founder and Artistic Director of Angela\u2019s Pulse. Her work has been supported by Fellowships from Open Society Foundations, Dance\/USA, Urban Bush Women\u2019s Choreographic Center Institute, and Surdna Foundation\u2019s Artists Engaging in Social Change. She won a Bessie Award for performance as a member of skeleton architecture, a collective of Black women(+) improvisers. McGregor is currently developing A\u2019we deh ya<\/em>, a multi-year, multi-site performance project aimed at illuminating \u201cabandoned\u201d spaces, vanishing traditions and local visions in Christiansted, St. Croix, her hometown, where local organizers are battling disaster capitalism after the 2017 hurricane season. This is the latest iteration of her project Building a Better Fishtrap<\/em><\/a>, rooted in her father\u2019s vanishing fishing tradition and three animating questions she\u2019s asked since leaving her ancestral home: What do you take with you? Leave behind? Return to reclaim?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
