In collaboration with DJ TearDrop, 2018-2019 Queer|Art|Mentorship Fellow, J. Bouey, will present an excerpt of a new work, entitled Chiron in Leo, hosted by Movement Research at their 9th St Studio (CC122). In Greek mythology, Chiron is known as the ‘wounded healer.” Informed by an astrological aspect in their chart, Chiron in Leo is a performance addressing trauma and healing through storytelling and movement-based ritual. Bouey writes, “My artistic practice is most concerned with addressing systems of oppression through a lens of healing centered around the body and movement.” Working within a space of care (for themselves as an artist and dancer, and for the audience as witnesses), Chiron in Leo brings together storytelling and dance to transform past traumas into new revelations of possibility. The finished work will receive its world premiere at JACK in Brooklyn, Spring 2020.

Performance followed by discussion and Q+A with J. Bouey and their Mentor, David Thomson.
