Our mission was a mixture of business and pleasure: to visit Youtube-famous chiropractor, and hallowed muscle whisperer, Dr. Brent Binder. Becca either a performance artist with a staggering knowledge of touch specialists or an anarchist pervert, depending on your chosen paradigm is working on a new solo performance installation,
The Body Never Lies. exploring the possibilities for healing beyond western medicine, which often fails its Hippocratic mandate by ignoring the idiosyncratic self-knowledge of the patient.
“The Body Remembers,” a collection of dances that explore themes of absence in New Orleans during the COVID-19 pandemic, will run from Thursday, April 15 to Saturday, April 17, with two performances each night at 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. In-person audience size will be limited to 75 due to COVID-19 restrictions. The Music Box Village is located at 4557 N. Rampart St.
Choreographed by Leslie Scott and Diogo de Lima of the Tulane Department of Theatre and Dance, the collection of site-specific dances touches on themes of strength and overcoming adversity, memory, healing and ritual. Musicians Neal Todten and Logan Schutts craft sonic landscapes using the one-of-a-kind “musical houses” that comprise the Music Box Village.
