This Body's Heart

This Bodys Heart is the undergraduate senior project of director/ choreographer Sonya Rio-Glick. It is a six piece dance production that tells stories of physical disability through contemporary dance, presented in Purchases Dance Theatre Lab.

What is it to be young and physically disabled? Get an intimate glimpse in this six piece dance production at Purchase College. Audiences will be transported through one young woman's experience as she navigates friendship, love, freedom, difference, aches, and triumph in a world that categorizes her body as other. This production was originally inspired by the lack of fire evacuation policy for Purchase students with disabilities. After creating a piece on being trapped in a building, she explored other emotionally poignant parts of living with Cerebral Palsy through movement.

The performance runs approx. 1 hour with a 10 minute intermission. There will be a 20 minute talk back after each performance.

Please only use accessibility seating if you or someone in your party does not climb stairs.

Tickets can also be purchased with CASH ONLY at the event.
