American Spectacle: Dance is the Protest

Host Thomas King Flagg welcomes artist, educator, and activist Marcus Smith for a powerful and deeply personal conversation about the role of dance as both protest and prayer. Together, they explore the intersections of faith, movement, and identity, sharing stories about navigating white spaces, reclaiming Black narratives through performance, and honoring ancestry through art. This episode is a meditation on embodiment, survival, and speaking truth through motion.
