Lick My Gun Group showing
What is an act of violence?
Towards you?
Towards me?
Towards each other?
Would you consider killing another human? Why?
Would you accept a gun as a present?
Why not?
Do you often feel powerless?
———————————–
For almost 3 months I have been rehearsing with a group of dancers asking the above questions and exploring ideas around female sexuality tied to gun violence. Statistics like, its almost 3 times more likely for you to be killed by your own child or any other toddler than any terrorist, strike home.
Actually, having kids makes you much more likely to die from gun violence than anything else in the U.S. Obviously, owing a gun increases that likelihood a whole lot more.
I’ve been trying to synthesize these ideas all together into different movement modalities and we NEED YOUR HELP. Come watch this very casual showing for free. I will hold an official talk back and you are welcome to stay or go. Come be part of the making of this piece that will premiere in 2018.
Dancers are: Nicole Bindler, LeAnne Harvey, Haylee Warner, Mira Treatman, Elizabeth Weinstein, Harlee Trautman.
