In 2016, Vanessa Anspaugh’s The End Of Men: An Ode to Ocean answered the questions, “What does feminist work look like without women as the subject? What happens when men are directed (by me) to embody their intimacies, and are then left to their own devices?”
A year—and a lifetime—later, the choreographer and performance artist presents THE END OF MEN, AGAIN, a Danspace Project at St. Mark’s Church.
“Being a lesbian choreographer… I ask these questions with urgency, confusion, and sincerity… I am turning my attention away from the fringes and focusing on the center, on dominance and privilege. In short, I am putting myself in a room filled with men, maleness, masculinity.” — Vanessa Anspaugh
“With an all-cis-male cast—Massimiliano Balduzzi, Lacina Coulibaly, Tristan Koepke, Gilbert Reyes, Simon Thomas-Train, Connor Voss, Jesse Zarritt—Anspaugh explores how power lives in, and between, all of the participating bodies.”*
