Project Title
ELECTROGYNOUS
Fiscal Year Awarded
2016
Grant or Program
National Dance Project Production Grant
Grant Amount
$45,000

ELECTROGYNOUS is a multidisciplinary performance that proclaims the infinite dimensions of the Black gender spectrum to counter historically imposed notions of femininity and masculinity. Through a mix of ancient funk, futuristic soundscapes, video architectures, and kinetic poetics, ELECTROGYNOUS challenges modern systemic racism by broadcasting the inclusion of liberated Black bodies into the center of now as a political act. Each performer becomes a portal through which to examine and illuminate rampant attempts to control the voice and conduct of Black bodies. Estimated artist fee: $30,000/week
