person[ing]
by The Organism that Persons
Using borrowed text, song, & movement, The Organism that Persons (The OtP) seeks to create new worlds from old ones and offer new perspectives on what it means to be a person. This first installation of person[ing] borrows from the 1971 documentary A Lady Called Camille, the book 'Architectural Body' (Gins & Arkawa), and musical samplings from Depression-era tunes to Lana Del Rey. The OtP draws from classical & postmodern dance, Buffon (clown), vocal arts, & drag performance.

Eastern Body Diary
by Feng Jiang
Eastern Body Diary explores the experiences of a young Taiwanese seeking connection, community, and some fun in NYC. He finds he must struggle to navigate the minefield of the Western gay community where his body and existence is reduced and desexualized by racial stereotypes. While running away from these afflictions, he ends up depriving himself of the integration and wholeness he seeks.
