Mixed Ability Undressed in NYC

undressed

Very cool event happening in New York City next week: An open performance from an experimental dance/theater company made up of people with and without disabilities, and of varying ages, sizes and body types. According to one of the members, “Our Undressed Project contains nudity and provocative material. It is a radical challenging of body image prejudice and an unique statement of body acceptance.”

The details:

NYC: May 16th – Dance Theater Workshop, 7pm

Dandelion shows developing excerpts from our Undressed Project, May 16th at Movement Research’s “Open Performance Series” at Dance Theater Workshop. Performed by Christine Chen, Debby Kajiyama, Eric Kupers, Jacques Poulin-Denis and Stacz Sadowski.

219 W. 19th St., Manhattan — (212) 691-6500

What is open performance?

A program of non-curated shared showings of experimentation and work-in-progress, for artists at all stages of their development. The events include an audience discussion moderated by a Movement Research Artist-In-Residence, where they will experiment with different feedback methods to support and inform the artists’ process.

Open Performance will take place at the DTW Studio, 3rd Floor

  1. These young women are a true inspiration. I have seen them perform here in Ottawa, and it truly changed the way I view the world. Thank you for this post.
