ALT-SEX: Non-heteronormative Male Dancer/Performer Needed

 
Feng Jiang 江峰 "Eastern Body Diary" at Movement Research at the Judson Church Scott Shaw

Feng Jiang is looking for one Non-heteronormative (Gay, bisexual, queer, pansexual and more) or heterosexual males dancers/performers that are friendly and open to the topics for the future performance work and project "Alt-Sex."

Feng's works are mostly intimate and personal, also non-heteronormative. He is now creating a somatic practice “Sex and Love,” which is to examine human sexuality and sexual energy in non-traditional sexual/sensual exploration, using touch, contact improvisation, imagination, body-mind connection activities to explore sexuality/sensuality.

The new work is about the confinement in most human sexual behaviors, limited sexual/sensual imagination and exploration of human bodies. Also how pornography is usually misleading and fixating people’s sexual/sensual possibilities and growth.

The dancer/performer and Feng will gather and do one or a few sessions of the practice "Sex and Love" and see where it can lead to in terms of future collaboration. He is looking for dancers/performers who are open to exploring these issues, interested in human sexuality/sensuality and comfortable with intimate interaction.
