Blending idiosyncratic movement with classical dance and spoken poetry, Ian Spencer Bell creates a queer language of his own. The New York Times writes “his movement itself seems to do the talking, physical sentences inseparable from verbal ones—neither upstaging the other—so that what results is not dance and not poetry but some third medium.” In Duet, Bell brings to life his poem about his relationship with a dancer in Brooklyn who concealed that he was HIV positive. In Marrow, Bell recalls growing up queer in Virginia in the 1980s. Through solo dance material and 10 poems, Bell explores his relationship with his mother, abusive stepfather, home, and dancing. Dancers Gary Champi and Joshua Tuason join Bell onstage. The program is one hour. A talk with the artists follows.
