Mondo Bizarro & Dancing Grounds Present: Kelly Bond & Sanchel Brown
Mondo Bizarro is Proud to Present Kelly Bond's "Escapade" and Sanchel Brown's "Home to Homeland"
ESCAPADE: Friday 9/27 & Saturday 9/28 @ 7:30pm; Sunday 9/29 @ 6pm
Escapade is freestyle, naked-in-your-bedroom dancing as an exploration of the body as self/source/holder of histories. Stories unfold through the desire of real-time connection, and bodies in time are exposed—bodies whose histories write their present. At once personable and distant, private and public, vulnerable and powerful, Escapade draws a line, crosses and moves it, attempting to offer an experience of self that is both struggle and necessary desire.
HOME TO HOMELAND: Friday 9/27 & Saturday 9/28 @ 9pm; Sunday 9/29 @ 3pm
We are proud to be partnering with our friends from Dancing Grounds to present the work of choreographer Sanchel Brown. In Home to Homeland, Brown dances, sings, raps, and raises an eyebrow as she travels from 1920’s Harlem to contemporary day time television. Brown weaves common yet diverse movement languages of footwork, as she invites us to follow her footprints towards the meaning of Motherland. Home to Homeland includes stops smack dab in the middle of a New Orleans second line as well as the Baltimore of Brown’s childhood.
