“Dances for Non/FictionalBodies,” by Jess Curtis/Gravity, co-commissioned and co-produced with Tigertail Productions as part of the 11th annual danceAble event.
This 11th annual danceAble event presents an interdisciplinary mixed-ability performance company utilizing artists from Germany, France, Italy, England and the United States. “Dances for Non/Fictional Bodies” is a performance-based project that combines installation, cirque arts and forward-thinking, new performance techniques uniquely set in a studio that examines the roles of imagined societal ideals as a kind of “fictional body” that disables individuals in terms of their ability to see others and to be seen as beautiful, empowered and autonomous people. The company in residence for a week will offer workshops and discussions for able and non-able individuals. Call 305-310-8080 for a schedule.
