“House in the World” is a screendance film rooted in Detroit’s vibrant Jit dance tradition. Directed in collaboration with Haleem “Stringz” Rasul of HardCore Detroit, the film is set against the backdrop of the Heidelberg Project, a reclaimed neighborhood turned living art installation. Through movement and layered visuals, the piece explores questions of identity, belonging, and the meaning of home in Black communities. Dancers move through a partially burned structure, revealing muscle memories and creative possibility within a space shaped by history.
