LAVA: Half Way There LAVA plus special guests

About This Show

LAVA celebrates PRIDE with a glimpse of the bedrock building blocks of our freshest expression of feminist acrobatic dance. Our epic new work, which will have its World Premiere in June 2017, is a feminist survival tale told through the voices of landscapes, ancestors, and the intrepid performers of LAVA.  With visions of feminist physical training in magical forests, mysterious initiations in underground movement caves, and an explosion of rainbow utopia celebration, our protagonist traveler sees her world transformed from the harsh brutality of patriarchy into a present possibility of integration, intersectionality, and geologic connection.  Half Way There exposes the work to audiences for the first time as the artists of LAVA are half way through a creative process that is the synthesis, culmination, and explosion of 15 years of earth moving performance.
