Views
SomArt at the Hive, May 15 - 16, 7pm
Views is an evening of new dance works by Andrea Muñiz that explores perception across ecological systems and to the charged space between performer and audience. Moving between film, filming, and live performance, the works ask how we see, how we are seen, and how those perspectives shape intimacy, identity, and power.
Featuring the premiere of NATURE I AM (dance film + live continuation), a duet investigating interconnection, cycles of destruction and renewal, and the body as a fractal universe. The evening continues with Nude Character Shoe, a provocative solo that confronts objectification, gender performance, and spectatorship.
Contains nudity. Intended for mature audiences.
