Volume
Performance with Jamal Sterrett (2024 - ongoing)

Volume is a live improvised performance and collaboration that journeys through the influences and iterations of popular music from Jamaica. Responding to soundscapes of field records and music mixed by Holmes, Sterrett’s movements are inspired by Bruk Up - a dance style that originated in Kingston, Jamaica to Dancehall music in the 1990s and evolved in Brooklyn, New York in the early 2000s in Afro-Caribbean neighborhoods like Flatbush and Bedford-Stuyvesant with pioneers like Ghost, Storyboard P and the Bed-Stuy Vets.
