Outdoors performance behind 7 Stages Theatre
Look for the fallen tree
Charmed Ones is an outdoor dance feast rooted in queerness, magic and ritual. Conceived by Corian Ellisor as a dreamscape celebrating the beauty and resilience of othered bodies, the performance wields movement as a form of protest. Charmed Ones explores the power of ceremony, channels the lifeforce of existing in love with chosen family, and conjures healing, joy, and light. The ensemble includes queer performers Alex Abarca, Leo Briggs, and Patrick Otsuki. Alongside composer Ptar, occultant and set designer Cody Waters, and poet Nicholas Goodly, the performers create a live journey of connection. Goodly’s work will also be featured in our Poetry Pride event on Monday, April 26. This ensemble dance performance has a run time of 45 min.

we have given new
shape to our tears a pleasure
in the innermost pink
desire is enough we are
in the business of need
we are unsuitable bowls
transforming the real
