pleasure is a place on earth

by Alston Tyndall, in collaboration with Brook Vann and Monica Bowker

An MFA immersive dance process exploring pleasure in relation to queerness and disability. There is no final product, only queer and crip ways of existing-outside-of. This experience seeks to discover newfound ways to exist in "performance" spaces. And it invites the audience to do the same.
