My Body as the Topic Coming Around Again // Vol 1 (Land) (2021)
How do we know what we know about our bodies and their right to take up space? How has dance training taught us about beauty, freedom, and the land we occupy? What has been ignored? This new trio for outside space begins from exactly where we are, revealing the stories of the ground we have stood on and gesturing to the impossible task of naming, seeing, and indexing all the overlapping histories of a site. It is continuously zooming in and opening out, telling the story of its own creation, and exploring the dance legacies of the three collaborators. Presented by LEIMAY and the New York Restoration Project.
