**Trailer for “Awaken” a short film**

Awaken

Three dancers, Evelyn Tejeda, Cecelia Mitchell and Andréa Ward embody the transformative journey from darkness to light, shedding layers of doubt and fear, embodying the transformative verses of a poem written and performed by Damara Woodring, soundscapes by 9 Helix Productions, directed by Nijah Mentor and executive produced by Monifa Kincaid. Through fluid movements and poignant choreography, the dancers navigate the depths of self-discovery; reminding us all that love is the ultimate force that illuminates even the darkest corners of the soul.
