I love witnessing folks of all sizes and abilities find their own connection to dance and their body.

“I Only Eat for Pleasure” activates queerness to expand how we live (in pleasure and liberation) in our bodies. The work, in an excellently smart mirroring effect, also reflects to us how we witness our own bodies. A powerful work, Nakagawa and Stockton ask viewers to witness their bodies moving, living, being in their wholeness. They invite us to interrogate how as a Western culture we are primed to project expectations onto dancing bodies and denounce indulgences of pleasure: in the work, (and then later in the Q&A) Nakagawa and Stockton remind us that those projections are white supremacist and colonial projects, that which we must fully and actively resist.

“fey/done/a/weigh is sentimental but not saccharine, smart but not too clever. When artists get personal, specific, and speak from lived experience, it’s remarkable how much room there remains for the audience to see themselves in the work, too. And the musicians nailed the tone of my 80’s and 90’s childhood.” —Lauren Simpson

"Go Big or Go Home" is a joy filled adventure into friendship, acceptance, and dance. I can't remember ever laughing so much watching a dance film. The thought and care put into every detail lingers in my mind and makes me want a sequel.”
