MOTHER EARTH, LET ME BLOOM! is a multi-layered, explosive, and metamorphic dance theater experience that centers on the euphoria, dysmorphia, and oppression of the trans and genderqueer community. This piece highlights our connections to embracing ourselves wholeheartedly with intimacy, softness, and being grounded through the Earth. Through touch, visual imagery, and fluid forms of communication, we invite audiences to embrace themselves as the piece explores intimacy, space, and grace within our bodies and how to offer that love to our chosen families around us.
