Queering Gender
“Querying Gender”, a new creation by dancers Paul Lewis Jayeden Walker and Mateo Galindo Torres performed in an informal studio setting
DESCRIPTION:
This project examines how we find our own dance in a world where we are regularly choreographed by assigned roles. Using improvisation, we seek to make contact from a place of liberatory movement that offers moment-to-moment choice. To query how people read bodies in a dance form that shares weight rather than assigning gendered roles. Is it possible to disrupt the choreography of gender, abandoning what doesn’t serve us–if only for the length of a dance? In other words: How can we find our own dance in a world where we are choreographed by the roles we play? If we don’t have the freedom to be our own unique self, can we truly make contact?
Performed: Tuesday, June 21, 2022
PRODUCED BY: REAson d’etre dance productions
FUNDING: Toronto Arts Council, Canadian Heritage Foundation, Ontario Trillium Foundation
