Featured Event

Form Follows Foreplay

6.8.19

As the sun sets on Saturday, the Institute of Queer Ecology will translate the mating rituals of five species found on Fire Island, including a horseshoe crab orgy and a bluejay throuple. These translations, taking the form of mark-making in the sand, will be performed in five movement phrases on the beach and will be accompanied by a live score of music with field recordings responding to the island's natural and social ecologies—tidal shifts and pop cultures mixing with animal tracks and seduction rituals. The performance will be followed by a dance party on the beach.
