BEAUTIFUL BEING

Queer Cultural Center

Poetry, movement, and live music brought to you by Arisa White, Europa Grace, and Eki Shola &amp; Sekayi Edwards
How can we decolonize the body with the inner beauty we've been seduced away from knowing? 
An audience-interactive choreopoem, Beautiful Being uses poetry, live music, and healing movements to awaken ancestral wisdom and evoke a future where our bodies are fully liberated. 
We welcome you to join us on this poetic and musical journey, where beauty inspires movements, songs, and narratives that help QTPOC resist, and therefore recover from, the ways our bodies are targets in society. As an interactive performance, Beautiful Being is a way to feel beauty in the geometry and grammar of one’s body. We are creating a brave space for you to (re)member your beautiful presence in the world.  
Come dressed in comfortable clothes and footwear so that you can move comfortably in your body and at your own pace. A Talkback session with audience members will follow the performance. 
 
Commissioned by the Queer Cultural Center for the NQAF; supported by the Akonadi Foundation So Love Can Win Fund; and fiscally sponsored by Nomadic Press.
