“I’m really glad that Performance Mix #34: Remotely Yours turned out to be so productive for me. I was able to wrap my head around the ideas that were all circling in my head.”
–Annie Heath
New Dance Alliance, in collaboration with FARM Projects, presents:
wednesday, july 20,2022
5-6:30pm
@ wellfleet preservation hall
335 main street
tickets: $15
This event includes a film screening of Garden in the Shape of Dreams, by visually impaired immigrant choreographer and educator Christopher “Unpezverde” Núñez. The film will be followed with a dance performance by Lisa Parra, a creator of body image, identity and the effects that ritual, culture and language have on movement.
A discussion with both Parra and Núñez will complete the program. Exploring the parallels between memory, erasure, and immigration as embodying identities, Lisa and Christopher use digital and analog technologies as a reference point to create post-colonial portraits. These portraits are influenced by cultural surroundings and orientation generating works that use archival materials to re-imagine and trace physical, social and political histories.
