Michelle Boulé: WONDER
WONDER is a new solo created and performed by dancer Michelle Boulé with sound by Carmine Covelli and lighting design by Natalie Robin, premiering as part of ISSUE's Emerging Artists Commission program. In WONDER, Michelle Boulé mines the depth of information and perceptual patterns she has acquired through a lifetime of dance. Her choreographic drive, pushing her body into new dimensions of exposure, questions the culture of facades embedded in everyday life. In a continuous cycle of costumes and personas, Boulé explores archetypes and definitions of gender, identity, and virtuosity. The dance, which happens in the round, is meant to engage the audience in a purposeful relationship with the performer to mutually explore seeing and being seen. WONDER is an invitation to witness a body in the performance encounter where a shared space of curiosity and possibility is laid bare. Without wonder our eyes are closed.
