Available Bodies is a part of a performance series on viewing the body as a form of entertainment. This iteration is devoted to comparing gender identifications and their psychological impact. This work particularly studies cisgender, non-binary, and transgender people of color. Available Bodies researches androgynous behaviors, gender dysphoria, and heteronormative discourse. These concepts reveal the opportunity to alter sexual anatomy. Two performers take viewers on a journey of gender discovery to reveal the importance of the mind-body interdependence. In their own transformations, we will have the chance to connect with the anatomical differences while associating emotional similarities. This evening is a queer offering to LGBTQIA-POC.
Support for Available Bodies was provided by a residency at Mount Tremper Arts
