Sacresize, flesh in progress is the open studio and final showing of Alberto Velasco’s laboratory with a group of fat performers with whom he will have been working since the beginning of December. The open studio will present choreographic and dramaturgical materials currently being developed for the piece SACRESIZE, a ballet of fat bodies inspired by Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring.
“Once, I had a dream: A ballet for people with bodies like mine. A ballet of fat bodies. But a BALLET ballet. Not a mockery of ballet through fat bodies, which is what they’re often used for on stage. Nor the exotic or singular within a normative ensemble. Using the beauty of those bodies to re-code the language of classical/contemporary ballet and glorify them. Then that dream merged with another: Choreographing Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring. Later, those two dreams became one: SACRESIZE. A ballet of fat bodies inspired by Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring. Now we’re going to make it a reality. The time is now.”
