The hungry ghost in eastern philosophy represents the insatiable hunger alive in people that leads to addiction, self harm or harm to others. Switch (meditations on crying) is a dance solo that embodies the fluid and creaturely aspects of personhood, calling upon sensation to disrupt objectification.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Poetics to Activate the Technology of the Body<\/em> <\/strong>is a dance video series inspired by guided meditations and the \u201chow to\u201d approach of a work-out video. The goal orientation of these dance videos is a monument to catching one\u2019s breath, calming the nervous system, and a digital spa where participants are guided back into self and into sensation- through sound and dance.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Nurse Tree<\/em><\/strong> is an installation of body workers and the aesthetics and practices of care &#8211; that seeks to move beyond critique of the medical industrial complex to a place where alternative economies of care exist. Wrestling with the need for another vision for future while acknowledging the harms of utopic thinking. It is a proposition for another way of living, dying and caring for eachother along the way.<\/p>\n<p>Free childcare will be offered during the performance on May 6th 2023. <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSc0AktHQkgO_llHLPeZyuMvwiUYWwEAFCzQMuvrP-9Xq7A3uA\/viewform\">Register here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Credits:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Be Heintzman Hope \u2014 Artistic direction, choreography, performance Switch (meditations on crying), sound weaver | Lucy B., Kaiden Diaz, Bam Truong \u2014 Performance Nurse Tree | Baco Lepage-Acosta \u2014 Conception video Poetics to Active the Technology of the Body | Nien Tzu Weng \u2014 Lighting fairy | Alice Lepage-Acosta \u2014 Costumes | Sasha Lang, Tomas Furey \u2014 Sound guides | Carmen Colas \u2014 Support to sound weaver | N\u00e9n\u00e9 Myriam-Konat\u00e9, Clara Furey, Baco Lepage-Acosta, Nada Khashaba, Dhalia Li, Maxine Segalowitz, K.G.
