FEMME
From the catwalks of Paris, to the office boardroom, FEMME is a new solo
theatrical dance work by choreographer/performer, Erin Fowler. Drawing
on her experiences as a fashion model and business woman, FEMME is one
woman's search for self within the cacophony of gender and sexual
conditioning that surrounds us.
FEMME explores concepts of
femininity and female sexuality, the female body, the gender roles we
conform to, or break against, and what it means to be powerful in a
largely masculine dominant culture.
Performed for all in the
Mill’s intimate Breakout Space, Erin tries on different ideas of
femininity. What does it take to stop performing and be true to yourself?
