Mass Movement

This performance is an invitation to witness a living, collective force. Mass Movement, a new work by Body Home Fat Dance, offers an embodied exploration of what becomes possible when fat bodies are centered, trusted, and fully lived in. Where softness, weight, shape, and texture become sources of innovation. Movement builds through momentum and leveraging of mass. The choreography reveals a physical language shaped by squish, reverberation, impact, and tenderness. 

Mass Movement is also a testament to the power of community, creativity and care. Created within a space of safety and connection, the work reflects the ways marginalized bodies, especially those at the intersections of fat and queer identity, forge new paths together. Without inherited templates, we build our own structures of meaning, drawing from shared experience, resilience, and imagination. Like its geological namesake, Mass Movement holds both quiet accumulation and sudden shift: a gathering of bodies and energies that, over time, becomes undeniable. 

Friday 7:30pm show MASKS ARE REQUIRED by audience members

A note on pricing: Sliding scale $15-35. We are offering tickets in a 3 tier format to improve accessibility to our performances. Arts often depend on grant funding as ticket prices do not cover the full cost of production. Please choose the payment level that works for you, that allows you access to the performance, and that supports the ongoing creation of art if possible. You can refer to the work by Alexis Cunningfolk if you would like to more deeply contemplate where you fit into this scale:  wortsandcunning.com/blog/sliding-scale

Accessibility:

NEW Expressive Works has extensive accessibility features designed into its conception. There are no steps into or through the space. Doorways are wide. There are multiple bathroom options including non-gendered and single stall bathrooms which are large and with grab bars. Theater seating is mostly sturdy, armless folding chairs which can be spaced apart a bit for needed space. There will be some larger chairs available. The front row does not require stepping up, though other rows are on risers. Wheelchairs and other mobility devices can be brought in to the front row at floor level. If you require any seating accommodations, please let us know in the ticketing process when asked so that we can be sure to be prepared.

Parking is mostly on the street and is usually found within 1-3 blocks. There is limited parking in a small lot and an accessible parking spot in that lot.

There will not be translation or ASL available. The performance has very little spoken, however artist talk and intro will be verbal.

Friday's performance will require all audience members to wear face masks. Cast will be unmasked. 

There is some use of hand held lights which may flash in your eyes (we really try not to). It's not flickering or strobe.
