Norma Miller’s Trickeration in Support of the Women’s Strike

Back in November, we got together to learn and film a variation of Norma’s Trickeration for Norma’s birthday. We also decided, to use this as an opportunity to express our support for the protests here, in Poland, that are opposed to the sudden ruling by the Polish Constitutional Court, which essentially ruled abortions to be illegal in the country. Countrywide protests caused the Polish government to pause putting this ruling into effect. For a variety of reasons we didn’t manage to post it then. However this Wednesday, the Polish government went ahead and now abortion is effectively illegal in Poland. So we think it is a good a moment as any to mix in awareness of the Women’s rights situation in Poland, the memory of the Queen of Swing, Norma Miller, and joy of dance. Enjoy, and don’t forget to stand up for yourself. Dancers: Karina Shorets & Tomasz Przytycki Choreographer: Norma Miller “Trickeration Routine“ Music: Count Basie- Rock- A-Bye- Basie
