"Contour is a live invitation to witness and engage with the power of self-expression.
Rooted in BIPOC trans and gay herstory, this immersive performance centers the queer body in motion - joyful, unapologetic, and in full presence.
Using the art of striking poses - a technique shaped by the Punking/Whacking and Underground Ballroom scenes - the dancer flows between movement and stillness.
At moments of pause, the performer becomes a living sculpture, inviting the audience to draw what they see: the silhouette, the outline, the contour.
This act of collective observation becomes a radical gesture. It challenges the normative gaze and invites everyone, regardless of their relationship to queerness, into a shared space of intimacy, reflection, and co-creation.
Here, the act of drawing becomes more than just mark-making - it becomes a practice of seeing, of accepting, of honoring queer existence through joy, beauty, and embodiment. Rather than focusing on struggle, Contour offers a celebration: the pleasure of dancing, the pleasure of witnessing, and the creation of a safe, caring relationship between performer and audience."
