Rooted in Moore‑Dunson’s exploration of healing and belonging in nature as a Black man, Black by Nature reimagines the relationship between identity and the outdoor world. The work creates space for reflection, freedom, and connection, guided by an original, jazz‑influenced score performed live by an acoustic ensemble of guitar, saxophone, trumpet, upright bass, and hand percussion. As music drifts through the trees and trails, the landscape becomes a living soundscape where history, improvisation, modern dance, and place converge.
