Forehand Down the Line
Serve it up tennis style! Our muse is the gestural interplay of ball people- agile tennis sideline speedsters who chase down fugitive balls. Their mercurial and symmetrical movements inhabit (in)visibility and collaboration. With contorted repetition, this fantasia queers the idea of champion. The rigorous labor of ball people is hyper-visible yet intended to be ignored. What happens if we flip this? Performed by five dancers, their repetitious movement transforms as…

It also challenges the norm of gender roles and how were expected to express ourselves. The show is basically…
