Colleen Thomas presents "Light and Desire" at New York Live Arts
Company:
Colleen Thomas
The season’s opening performance activates Live Arts’ expansive 3rd floor studio with a Live Feed commission and world premiere. Colleen Thomas’s Light and Desire was created against the backdrop of increasing political radicalism worldwide preceding a global pandemic. Now transformed, Thomas with an international feminist cast of 5 collaborators meet audiences with shifted priorities and deep embodiment and articulation of their light and desire. The collective takes a personal and universal look at women artists and asks how women hold, embody and express power by creating their own form of radical expression during fascist times.
