Body Rituals
by Aztlan Dance Company
Sep. 21 - Sep. 24, 2017
Thursday-Sunday
“The AZTLAN Project: Body Rituals,” an experimental performance exploration that highlights the labor of love that dancers engage. Set in the scene of the dance studio, the work tells the story of individuals as they transition from the everyday body to the performance body. The AZTLAN Project offers audiences a rare backstory glimpse of the rehearsal process and the difficult contemplations each dancer engages as they temper their mind and body for the extraordinary realm of theatrical dance performance.
Notes AZTLAN director Roén Salinas, “Dancers are the malleable matter of dance. Behind the sweat of each dance movement and its moving architecture exists the individual, a person that imagines the stage as utopia and whom disciplines their time and training for it.”
The AZTLAN Project is the first of the trilogy of experimental choreo-drama projects that explores dance through optics of the company’s unique mission to create dance that inspires East Austin culture.
