Blood Baby: Communion

Headlong Studios (1170 S Broad St, Philadelphia, PA 19146)

An improvisational performance by Meg Foley, where you are guided through soft movement and feeling. Foley’s text embraces geological lineage and noticing with our senses.

Communion examines the space between body and language, demonstrating how language extends, represents, and ruptures our corporeal identities. (60 min)

You’re encouraged to explore the hands-on gallery of Touch Library, in the same building, before your experience.

Part of Blood Baby, a queer and trans exploration of lineage, family, and how we are each individually formed from artist Meg Foley and the Painted Bride.

Note: 6/14 6:30pm show will be mandatory masking. Masks will be available at the door.
