We’re 10 Days Away!!
These are the bodies that have not borne. premieres on August 23rd and 24th at 6pm at the 2025 Snug Harbor Dance Festival on Staten Island.
At its core, this work is both a collective and individual somatic processing of unrequited desires and inherent worth in our bodies and livelihoods. Performance-ritual-activators will submerge themselves in portals dug into the ground, literally dancing out of the Earth, and provoking images and questions of burial, of re-birth and of Earth as first parent.
We invite you to come witness and experience the process we’ve been gestating for two years.
