Mark your calendars as BodyStories is excited to announce that we will be performing at the HERE Arts Centre as a part of their SubletSeries: Co-Op program! We will be premiering a new work, Inside Out, an evening-length dance work that explores personal identity and healing from trauma.
In 2022, the U.S. saw a marked increase in identity-based violence related to gender and sexual orientation. As a female-presenting, queer, non-binary artist, I am highly alert to the pains experienced by female-identifying and LGBTQIAP+ communities from the increased instances of identity-based violence related to gender and sexual orientation. As a company, we are focused on building a community that provides a safe space for all marginalized communities to express themselves, particularly LGBTQIAP+, Inside/Out explores the complex, individualized journeys of navigating this societal trauma. It illustrates the power of the self against these discriminatory actions, while also articulating the ways in which our identities are forever altered as a result. Our dynamic choreography moves the audience through these journeys through intricate movement phrases. The piece moves through phases of calm and chaos, culminating in a sense of breath, power, and vitality. The work will focus on uplifting and affirming womxn, individuals with a uterus, and members of the LGBTQIAP+ community. The work is choreographed by Teresa Fellion with 2 sections by collaborator Eddie Stockton. It features dancers Leann Gioia, Eddie Stockton, Teresa Fellion, and Arianna Stendardo.
