Stills from Belonging: IN SYNC. Links Hall, 2016
Belonging: IN SYNC was a movement and installation piece that explores how non-traditional dancers understand and reconnect with the body and mental wellness during and after physical trauma. How does dance (and art) save the mind, when the body has reached its physical and emotional limit(s)?
Stills from Abundance. Performance conceived by Patricia Nguyen. Links Hall, 2016
During a time of extreme violence in Chicago, the U.S., and the world at large in the form of neoliberal war, police brutality, and violence against black people and racialized and gendered communities of color, this performance seeks to embody ancestral and personal ritual practices that call upon abundance to strengthen our collective and individual spirits, psyches, and bodies.
Featuring: Patricia Nguyễn + Jennifer Ligaya + Haydée Souffrant + Xris Copal (drums)
