NEUTRALDANCINGBODYMYASS, 2017
Invocation Proclamation Manifesto at Gibney
New York, NY
September 21–23, 2017
in a shared evening with Jess Pretty and Miriam Gabriel + Carlo Antonio Villanueva
Criticality comes with acknowledging one’s culpability. In NEUTRALDANCINGBODYMYASS, Elena Rose Light is the culpable critic, glossing over 100 years of Western body culture and the rhetoric that brings it to life. Uniting her version of ventriloquism with capital-D Dance, she takes whiteness to task in an evening of good fun for the whole family.
