SUMMARY:My Guide to Feeling It All: An Informal Showing
DESCRIPTION:My Guide to Feeling It All: An Informal Showing \nCome feel it all during this evening of contemporary dance \nAbout this Event \nWe spend time trying to escape\, control\, or even understand emotions. What if instead of hiding from feelings\, we invited them in? \nMy Guide to Feeling It All is an intricate movement tapestry portraying the wide range of human emotion created by Angelina Benitez in collaboration with Alexandria Nunweiler and Katrina Conte. This contemporary dance work challenges the societal norms that often encourage us to suppress or compartmentalize our feelings\, instead celebrating the beauty of authenticity while inviting viewers to embrace their own identities and express their emotions without fear or judgment. \nThroughout this approximately 30-min performance\, the dancers embody the intersection of shame and pride\, love and grief\, anxiety and excitement\, carefully holding space for the many contradictions and paradoxes that make up the human experience. Adam Matthew’s original composition blends ballads\, acoustic guitar interludes\, and electric guitar jams to match the range of emotion presented physically. \nThe evening begins with a chocolate meditation (do we have your interest piqued?) followed by a prelude of community-built choreography made during workshop series. The performance will be followed by a short Q&A with the students and artists. \nCome feel it all. \nThis presentation is made possible in part by a Community Building Mini Grant from the Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs. \nAbout the Choreographer: \nANGELINA BENITEZ graduated from Salem State University with a B.A in both Modern/Contemporary Dance and has since studied at Bates Dance Festival and continues to study with local Boston-based artists. Her choreography at Salem State was presented at Boston’s American College Dance Association Conference and earned her a Presidential Arts Scholarship and a Creativity Award in Dance. Angie has immersed herself in teaching dance in the Greater Boston area at local studios\, schools\, and residencies.
