Our Feet Off the Ground: An Outdoor Dance Experience (Los Angeles)

“Our Feet Off the Ground” is a brand new immersive feminist dance show drawing from the stories of Hans Christian Andersen, including such familiar classics as “The Little Mermaid” and “The Red Shoes” as well as more obscure selections. The show darkly reimagines these classic tales, intersecting their language and themes with the medium of dance as a vehicle for reckoning with the perils and passions of inhabiting a female body. With choreography and narrative developed through collaborative devising, “Our Feet Off the Ground” explores the expansiveness of desire and the social punishments incurred when desire is deemed too much. “Our Feet Off the Ground” will be performed in site-specific outdoor locations, inspired by Andersen’s imagery connecting woods and wilderness to the boundlessness of the human soul. Performing Friday, May 24th at 6 pm at Hillcrest Park in Fullerton Saturday, May 25th at 1 pm at La Tierra de la Culebra Park in Highland Park Sunday, May 26th at 6 pm at Hillcrest Park in Fullerton Admission is FREE!
