Experimental Performance Series #1
Saturday, November 2, 2024 • 2PM & 7:30PM
Venue: Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center.
The Experimental Performance Series is a collection of self produced works from undergraduate and graduate students in theatre and dance, ranging from production of established works to brand new plays and choreography.
Humonculus
Choreographers: Angela Smith and Peter Pattengill
Run-time (approximate): 25 minutes
In Humonculus we ritually construct a giant cyborgian human, spending time with each of the parts and honoring the process of re-labeling, re-naming, and re-arranging them. Magic and mysticism color how we think about bodies, identity, and dance while also offering a framework for centering the unknown (queer). Through the construction of our very own “humonculus,” we examine community, reciprocity, ritual, trust, safety and the euphoria of queer expression.
We Are Human
Choreographer: Eliana Kindred
Run-time (approximate): 10 minutes
We Are Human is a queer celebration. It shows the journey of self discovery and becoming confident in your queer identity. This dance embodies queer pride and affirms that we are human.
