One on One & Sacre Bleu! Or Camenbert 8 Euros at ShapeShifter Lab

Emerging artists Kelly Moran, Tara Sheena, and Jessica Bonenfant perform new work in an
evening of dance at ShapeShifter Lab.
One on One is the result of a bi-coastal collaboration between California-based composer Kelly Moran and Brooklyn-based dancer Tara Sheena. Using Moran’s preexisting compositions as a prompt, the pair cohesively blends their artistic voices, despite the 3,000 miles separating them.

Sacre Bleu! Or, Camembert 8 Euros is a provocative performance-as-research project by
Jessica Bonenfant, creative director of Brooklyn-based Lola Lola Dance Theatre. Sparked by
a visit to Amsterdam’s Red Light District and developed at Performing Arts Forum in St. Erme,
France, the work examines the implications of putting the body on display and asks what it
means to be looked at. Writings by sex workers, imagery from French Vogue, and the practice
of Nyotaimori (eating sushi off a naked woman’s body) are sourced to create movement, text,
and projections. In Sacre Bleu, stiff and stilted movements are juxtaposed with the voluptuous,
as bodies populate a gritty, grainy world reminiscent of old VHS cassettes.
