The community is invited to the Minneapolis Central Library plaza for a work-in-progress showing of MY BODY MY HOME.
MY BODY MY HOME is a unique collaboration between zAmya Theater Project and acclaimed choreographer Lelis Brito. This movement-based project brings together housed and unhoused community members to explore the profound experience of displacement, and how individuals find a sense of "home" within their own bodies and environments.
Participants have collaborated with Brito to develop and rehearse movement patterns—focusing on the physical gestures, routines, and expressions people engage in to manage emotions and cultivate a sense of safety and belonging.
Come support the performers, witness the creative process in the heart of downtown, and experience how movement can build understanding across our community.
Lelis Brito is a Venezuelan-American theater director, choreographer, educator, performer, writer, and director of the Center for Moving Cultures (CMC). The core of Brito’s work is the human body’s potential and activation—clarifying choice-making through the knowledge gained within the direct experience of a moving, sensing body.
This activity is made possible by the Bridge Fund for Dance program through the City of Minneapolis Arts & Cultural Affairs Department.
