Laughing doesn't need your help: An ensemble performance in the bosque

Laughing doesn't need your help is a contemporary dance project envisions a cosmic pull toward connection, even when relief from everyday struggle feels inconceivable. Amid the present moment of climate catastrophe, rapidly escalating administrative violence, and widespread anxiety, this new ensemble performance manifests our inevitable movement toward each other, tenderness, and meaning staged in and around the Rio Grande River on consecutive Sundays 7/20, 7/27, and 8/3. Inspired by literary references including Kaveh Akbar’s acclaimed Martyr! and Toni Morrison’s canonical Beloved一as well as ongoing conversations with local queer, melanated, and allied creatives一a cast of performers are born from a murky collective unconscious into their own looping, improvised movement cycles that lead, perhaps inexplicably, back into joyful, muddy communion.
