Highways Performance Space Artistic Director, Leo Garcia presents
“Wombman” (pronounced woman) is a dynamic choreographic story of socially and politically engaged dance-theater from playwright/choreographer Ashlee Katrice Thomas of Enlightened Theater. This choreo-story plays out issues of gender, race, power, and obsession from a female perspective, with significant life experiences expressed through female anatomy– that biologically determined, user-modified expression of the individual, as well as the individual potential for transformation The audience will leave with an enlightened view of themselves in relation to the female experience.
Dancers include: Jessie Agdeppa, Jasmine Burgos, Sarah Elizabeth Gelesko, Isabella Grosso, Maisha Morres-Rey, Aminah Munajj, and Ashlee Katrice Thomas. Ashlee K. Thomas marvels at the power coming to one stage, “We will be traveling through each woman’s story beginning with hair, then birth, womb and man; seeing how connected we all are as women, as human beings”, says Thomas.
The show premiers July 7th @ 8:30 and July 8th @7pm
