In this creative development, contemporary dance practitioner Ben-Hur Winter joins Berry; together they will create ‘rebel political warriors’, hybrid forms of the artists’ complex selves.
Border Crossers is a new, durational work drawing from ideas surrounding the performance of identity, ‘borderless’ worlds and global change movements.
The work builds upon a persona, Oriental Warrior Terrorista Señorita, originally created by performance artist Valerie Berry for The Living Museum of Fetishized Identities (Performance Space 2001/2003), curated by Guillermo Gomez Pena.
In this creative development, contemporary dance practitioner Ben-Hur Winter joins Berry; together they will create ‘rebel political warriors’, hybrid forms of the artists’ complex selves. Their Filipino heritage, theatre-making and queer performance practices will be drawn upon, to comprise the core of the personas, which may exist in a theatre, gallery, dance club, an alley, or even a church.
