Performance
Taja Will
ERODE
Dates
Sun, Aug 30, 12:30 am
TWE uses a sliding scale for tickets. Things to keep in mind, the higher end of the sliding scale is for those with full time, gainful employment and perhaps generational wealth. The middle of the scale are for middle class and those who can afford the recommended ticket price per equitable exchange, and the low end is for those who need need for financial support at this time. The scale is balanced by people reserving tickets at all price points.
ERODE is an eco-erotic contemporary dance with the sovereign molecular centers of the natural world. Together we build a queer, decolonial praxis of connection and relationship with our elemental kin. To find reciprocal relationships with nature is a slow, intuitive, sensual, improvisational and fluid practice; we oscillate between minutiae and maximalism.
This time it is not ritual, it is not a call to action, it is an invitation to listening, feeling and connecting.
Performed by Lu Chen, Sabrín Feels, Taylor Arvizu Hara, Nate Ramos, and Taja Will.
For one evening only we build an ephemeral world with water, soil, clay, willow, flowers and more, come witness with all of your senses.
