VITRUVIAN

VITRUVIAN is an evening length dance and media work unraveling the classical image of The Vitruvian Man by Leonardo Da Vinci. Across several movements the character Vitruvian is embodied by a Black, Disabled Man to engage a new narrative about how natural phenomena and history live in the body.
