Dressage
Bianca Cabrera (Blind Tiger Society)
A Blind Tiger Society work about obedience and rebellion that uses the imagery of horse training to 're-wild' the body, combining technical contemporary dance with contact improvisation. Bianca Cabrera described it as 'skin, touch, glamour and grotesque.' It premiered in Chicago on a shared bill with Khecari and was restaged on the 'Ring Sour' program at CounterPulse.
