VisionIntoArt-in-Residence: Wholly Unwinding The Canticle of Cerebral Palsy | The Songs of My Scars A New Musical at National Sawdust, Brooklyn on Tue, Nov 17, 7:30 PM. Lineup, start time and tickets on Ckord.
We all have scars. Some seen, others hidden. Each tells a story, a marker of an experience that, though painful, became part of us. What happens when we don't just look at our scars, but try to learn and grow through them, honoring how they shaped who we are today? The immersive experience opens with an art gallery curated from disabled artists in New York City and an offering of hands-on Alexander Technique somatic work, the modality that Hailey credits with launching her healing experience. The audience crosses into the space through a sculpture portal built from the casts and medical devices Hailey wore in childhood. Led by Hogfish co-founder and Alexander Technique teacher Matt Cahill, the experience of receiving hands-on Alexander Technique guidance continues throughout the piece for the cast and audience. At the end of Wholly Unwinding, an inclusive dance party further breaks down barriers between cast and audience, inviting people with and without disabilities to celebrate the joy of moving the bodies we have as one. This is a seated performance. If you require accessibility accommodations, please email [email protected]. The world premiere of Wholly Unwinding was commissioned, developed, and produced by Hogfish in Portland, ME. The development of Wholly Unwinding received funding from OPERA America’s Opera Grants for Women Composers: Discovery Grants program, supported by the Virginia B. Toulmin Foundation.
