OPENING PERFORMANCE
Corporeal Decorum choreographed by Liony Garcia
Apr 7, 8, 9, 2022 8:00 p.m.
Presented by Miami Light Project
“Corporeal Decorum” is a multidisciplinary performance piece and investigation into the cultural erasure of Miami’s Art Deco District. The piece memorializes important features of the city’s surviving deco architecture; it concretizes elements in both scenography and the body itself. Drawing inspiration from earlier examples of architectural preservation in Miami Beach, the choreography reinterprets Miami’s urban and material past as a contemporary embodied form. The work deals with themes of loss, place, and ephemeral.
Liony Garcia is a dancer and choreographer based in Miami, FL. He holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from New World School of the Arts. As a performer, he has worked with BodyTraffic (LA) performing choreographic works by Guy Weizman and Roni Haver (NL), and Barack Marshall. Locally he’s worked with Brigid Baker’s WholeProject, Bistoury Physical Theater, and is a founding member of Rosie Herrera Dance Theater.
