about skin leaves:
SKIN LEAVES is the newest work from choreographer Holly Johnston. This 45-minute evening of dance narrates stories of selfhood through movement, music and visual design. Rising through the flesh and bones of dancing bodies are stories of persons subjugated by patriarchy and heterosexism. The work is a culmination of a two-year research and development process and is created by Heather Cooper, Kara Davis, Raphael Boumailia and Holly Johnston. Major artistic advancements to the research and development of Skin Leaves were given by the artistic contributions of Katharine Hawthorne and Elizabeth Chitty.
