Exploring the Grotesque Body with Mary Pearson at The Bluecoat LIC Studio

Creative movement and performance workshop with Mary Pearson exploring the theme of gods and monsters.

What joy can be found in being a cursed thing? How can we connect with our shadow selves and facets? What kind of play can be discovered through embodying villains, evil, or monsters? Can we delight in moving from parts of ourselves that have been rejected, despised, ignored or hidden?

At what point do gods become monsters and vice versa? Let’s queer those borders and play in the margins.
