Be Heintzman Hope presents three projects in dialogue with one another:
Switch (meditations on crying), is a dance solo drawing from strip tease, lap dance, meditation, and intuitive martial arts.
Poetics to Activate the Technology of the Body is a dance video series inspired by guided meditations and work-out video’s “how to” approach. These dance videos are a monument to catching one’s breath, to calming the nervous system, as well as a digital spa.
Nurse Tree is an installation of body workers with the aesthetics and practices of care. It seeks to move beyond the critique of the medical industrial complex to a place where alternative economies of care exist. Grappling with the need for another vision of future while acknowledging the harms of utopic thinking.
Free childcare will be offered during the performance on May 6th 2023. Register here.
A co-production with Danse-Cité, MAI (Montréal, arts interculturels), Parbleux (delegated producer) and Be Heintzman Hope.
Co-presented by Danse-Cité and MAI.
