We Have An Anthem!
“Break The Chain” by Tena Clark & Music Video with Debbie Allen Released Today!
The Song To Call Up ONE BILLION
V-Day is thrilled to announce the release of the ONE BILLION RISING anthem entitled Break The Chain and the accompanying music video!
Written and produced by legendary music dynamo Tena Clark
, with music by Tena Clark and Tim Heintz, Break The Chainfeatures an impressive cast of V-Girl activists and New York-based singers: Liz Byrne, Shelea Frazier, Ashley Juedy, Dana Kluczyk, Jenny Mollett, Jenna Brooke Scannelli, Tanyaradzwa Tawengwa, Naomi Walley, and Caitlin Witty.
The song moves us beyond words, and now you can move with it! Dance ICON, and award winning choreographer Debbie Allen
has choreographed a dance just for ONE BILLION RISING. The music video features Allen with the over 80 teen V-Girls and singers bringing their radical RISING energy to locations across NYC.
“Dance is dangerous, joyous, sexual, holy, disruptive, contagious, it breaks the rules. It can happen anywhere, anytime, with anyone and everyone, and it’s free. Dancing insists we take up space, we go there together in community. Dance joins us and pushes us to go further and that is why it’s at the center of ONE BILLION RISING. With infectious music and lyrics from Tena Clark, amazing vocals by a talented group of V-Girls, and Debbie Allen’s bold choreography, Break The Chain is the anthem that will call up One Billion to rise.” – Eve Ensler
Produced by Eve Ensler and V-Day, the video was directed and shot by South African filmmaker Tony Stroebel, who also co-directed and shot the ONE BILLION RISING short film
.
