Blaze Ferrer is an interdisciplinary performer and choreographer interested in the mainstreaming of queerness within the American capitalist hegemony. Blaze makes experiences that express the vibrancy and limits of embodiment through post-Judson choreographic scores and the incorporation of consumerist cultural iconography. As a lead artist, Blaze has made work for Pioneers Go East, Pageant, The Collapsable Hole, Prelude Festival, The Brick Theater, The Exponential Festival, Movement Research@Judson Church, Sundays on Broadway, New Dance Alliance, AUNTS, danceh0l0, Brooklyn Arts Exchange (NEEDING IT), HERE, Dixon Place, and various DIY events. Blaze has performed for and helped generate pieces with Stacy Lynn Smith, Yanira Castro, Jeff Aaron Bryant, Nora Sorena Casey + Christopher Dennison, The Drunkard’s Wife, Radiohole, Ursula Eagly, Londs Reuter, Ilan Bachrach & Robert M. Johanson, minor theater, Sophie Weisskoff, Ásta Bennie Hostetter, Ben Ferber, The Pack and Built For Collapse.

class title "I THINK I GOT IT" - Participants will work on basic somatic conditioning, across the floor exercises, and movement scores inspired by contemporary dance modalities, stage combat, moshing, and drag performance. Primary focuses will be on sustaining high effort movement, attention to environmental response, and how to be the coolest thing in the room. How does a dancer use their knowledge as a springboard to forget "dance", and create a kinetic happening? Kneepads or thick long pants sweats encouraged.
I’ll be working on Water Break, a solo performance combining hydroponic shibari, aerobic propulsion, and polyrhythmic dance beats.'
