The Process – RAWRA at Atlas Arts Lab

RAWRA, a queer multidisciplinary artist, explores the intersection of the raw and the weird. Borrowing from Dr. Schultz of the Internal Family Systems psychology, “Our parts can sometimes be disruptive or harmful, but once they are unburdened, they return to their essential goodness. When we learn to love all our parts, we can learn to love all people– and that will contribute to healing the world.”

The Process – Claire Alrich

Claire Alrich leads rehearsal for her upcoming show, make me a monument at Dance Place, March 21 & 22, at 7pm! Tangling the innate comedy of the body with its capacity for sublime beauty, make me a monument is a new, site-specific performance for the Dance Place theater. With post-modern dance, object theater, and a dash of musical theater razzle-dazzle, this work conceptualizes monument-making as a way of shaping communal spaces, celebrating mortality, and embodying memory. Featuring a collaborative cast of 8 dancers, an original sound score, and a morphing fabric set, this performance invites you (the audience) into a world that unwinds and rewinds, creates connections and shifts perspective.
