Blaze Ferrer: Dick Biter Dick Biter is a dance that mourns the death of punk while channeling its contemporary detritus. Using deconstructed drag movement, mylar fringe buttplugs, traffic cones and Fiona Apple's 1997 VMAs speech as a springboard, Dick Biter collages dance scores and texts to embody both the divine femme and butch, and propose a space for abrasive, seat-forward revelry. Choreography: Blaze Ferrer Performance: Blaze Ferrer, Joey Kipp, and Alex Romania Sound Design, Composition, and Percussion: Jeff Aaron Bryant, Guitar: Alex Romania Lighting Design: Ebony M. Burton Costume Design: Emily White Stuart B Meyers: thegarden thegarden is an abstract movement exploration of the ever-becoming nature of the body and its outer world. As a blueprint for technotronic invention, the corporeal reveals itself to be a glitching system – one that is ripe for repair, updates and visioning. By constantly and consciously reconnecting to the body as organic material, the dance proposes a rediscovery of the supportive unseen forces that sustain us. It moves to re-member the spiritual processes and practices that ground us in our own ability to build newly gleaming futures. Choreography and Performance: Stuart B Meyers
