Dances for Non/Fictional Bodies is a performance-based project examining the role(s) of imagined societal ideals as a kind of “fictional body” that disables individuals in terms of our ability to see others and to be seen as beautiful, empowered, and autonomous. Physically and conceptually deconstructs movement vocabulary and ideals of beauty based in socially imagined perfections of form that rarely exist in actual bodies. The work will examine difference as a virtue in and of itself, finding the unique beauty in the idiosyncrasy of each individual performer. The synergistic and esthetic necessity of difference will be highlighted, and thus implicitly propose that the audience re-consider their own definitions and limitations of beauty and empowerment.
