You were a child, and that child is still in you. Without looking at the past and forgiving little you, there’s no way future you can get past the past.
After years of working as a teacher, organizer, and facilitator, Matthew Armstead is pushed inward to show themself the care and accept the support they show others. Through poetry, movement, and song, Matthew embodies a chorus of voices. Black people don’t have to be perfect. Queer fam don’t have to perform to be cool. We all just get to be. Yes and…you get to forgive yourself.
Song Bridge is a compassionate journey about learning to sing again. Travel across time together toward collective healing. If you’d like to experience Song Bridge with your group let me know.
“Armstead shares their journey from a place of deep healing, joy, and wholeness. The artist deliberately gives audience members the agency to take care of themselves, gently guiding them to make space for their own healing… Armstead’s piece is deeply personal and autobiographical, yet universal.” - The Broad Street Review
