On Thursday, January 28, three dancers performed Annie Wilson’s Lovertits to a full house in Goodhart Hall’s Hepburn Teaching Theater.
This piece of dance theater merges and abstracts burlesque, clown, improvisation, cabaret, and postmodern dance to create a work that probes the viewer’s conceptions of sexuality, the act of looking, and the body politic.
Centering on the body as a site of exploration, Annie Wilson’s choreography challenges the interplay between sexuality and nudity, using the performers’ bodies as puppets and a makeshift map.
The performers, Christina Gesualdi, Jenna Horton, and Ilse Zoerb weave in and out of the audience, transforming into different characters, all the while exploring what it means to be a woman with a body.
Lovertits is part of the Bryn Mawr College Performing Arts Series, and tickets are complimentary for all Tri-Co students, faculty, and staff. Performances continue from January 29-30, beginning at 8 p.m.
