BMC, Race, and Identity: Delving in the Experiential Anatomy of BMC & Improvised Performance with Students in Brazil
Presenters: Wendy Hambidge, Marila Velloso

In October of 2018, on the invitation of Marila Velloso and Tarina Quelho, Wendy experimented with dance and theatre students in Curitiba and Sao Paulo, Brazil in a workshop and performance. First sharing the experiential anatomy of BMC (bones, blood, and skin), then developing an improvisational score sharing “simple” statements of identity and the experience of seeing and being seen and standing together. In this hour we will watch video documentation, including comments from the participants and discussion of the application of BMC in addressing identity and race, both for the participant/performer and the audience. Each session runs for 1 hour & 15 min.
