And Now This
Emily LaRochelle & Sarazina Joy Stein
LEIMAY PRESENTING SERIES SUMMER/FALL 2024: OUTSIGHT
We present our explorations of queer joy in the form of a post-modern dance duet between two dance and life partners. We aim to create a display of dance, glitter, and magic, but with an ever-present hint that there is more going on than just the glam and color. We intend to then strip away the flashiness, giving the audience the impression of looking into the fishbowl of our relationship, and exposing the performers’ vulnerabilities in not wearing “characters.” We hope to present our relationship and ourselves in an honest and open way that audiences can identify with.

OUTSIGHT is a performance series presented by LEIMAY in partnership with the New York Restoration Project. It features public performances by international and local artists working within areas of dance, theater, performance art, experimental music, and butoh. Most OUTSIGHT artists have been part of the LEIMAY Incubator Program which provides them with process-focused resources. The performances are set within one of NYRP’s community gardens.
OUTSIGHT is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, in partnership with the City Council, the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and the New York State Legislature and the Mertz Gilmore Foundation
