Highways Performance Space and Gallery (Santa Monica, CA)

Enjoy a gender-bending and deconstructive exploration of Indian dance redefined in The Post Natyam Collective’s invigorating Subversive Gestures about super-heroines, hypnotic mudras and lesbian fantasies. Watch as Cynthia Ling Lee and Shyamala Moorty seamlessly blend queer tactics of parody and personalization with an interdisciplinary style that consists of evocative dance, multimedia, special invited guests and audience interaction/participation. Subversive Gestures includes several highlights, like a reimagining of Joe Goode’s iconic “29 Effeminate Gestures” transformed into “29 Subversive Gestures,” a compelling yet comedic investigation of the queer, gendered, dancing body. Look forward to “Super Ruwaxi: Origins,” a comic-book-inspired story about Ruwaxi, the postmodern superhero who discovers her power as the Hairy Arm-Pitted Feminist armed with magical body odor to fight oppression by the dominant patriarchy.
