Upcoming Programs and Events
True Body Project and the Fringe Festival!
The True Body Project will present two performances of BODY LANGUAGE: A RADICAL
TRUTH in the spring of 2008. It is a work being created by Cincinnati teens in
collaboration with area directors, actresses, dancers and choreographers. The
process includes sending a team of girls and women into the community to
conduct workshops and to gather stories and surveys about our relationship with
our bodies and the secrets we may be keeping. This creative research will be
the foundation for a short performance for the Living Dance Project at the
Aronoff Center on April 18th and at the Cincinnati Fringe Festival in early
June. Visit www.thelivingdanceproject.org and www.cincyfringe.com for up-to-date performance
information.
