Dancer and choreographer Okwui Okpokwasili reimagines the boundaries of the stage with performances that center historically marginalized narratives.
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
Dancer and choreographer Okwui Okpokwasili reimagines the boundaries of the stage with performances that center historically marginalized narratives, such as the interior lives of African American and African women. She will address radical practices and paradigms in the aesthetic and activist realms, and movement-based practices of healing and listening.
