Project Title
Aggression Confession Procession
Fiscal Year Awarded

Grant or Program
New Work New England
Grant Amount
$15,000

Aggression Confession Procession is a multidimensional project consisting of an outdoor audience-based funeral procession, an experimental film, and an evening-length dance theater piece. All three components of this work echo and collide with one another conceptually and aesthetically from the vantage of bodies in mourning, and the historical concept of the “hysterical woman" as a diagnosis. Looking at the myriad ways we both hold and process atrocity, this project investigates and interrogates the question of how it is that we care for bodies.
