Sasha Amaya is Looking for Dancers for Her New Work
Sasha Amaya is looking for dancers/performers for her new work Solo for Boy in late autumn 2023. Constituting part of her trilogy investigating and reimagining European art history from a non-European perspective, works in the series include Sarabande and Orfeo. This time Amaya takes the topic of norms of western male beauty as her topic, to performatively investigating the history and continuing presence of how western European art culture has presented and represented the masculinity, beauty, power, and permission.
