Levi Gonzalez’s newest work ,every cell and I a mouth, is a movement-based work for three dancers and one choreographer/director. An attempt to resist traditional notions of theatrical and artistic product, there will be no music and no shifts in lighting, only the power of the living, breathing human body. The work explores the endless possibilities inherent in the body to express, challenge and transform the act of perception, and to reinsert sensuality, proximity and intimacy into a shared public space. Gonzalez will direct the dancers live in each performance, creating a charged sense of the “now” for both performers and audience. Levi Gonzalez is a NYC based dance artist. His work has been presented by Movement Research, Dixon Place, Dance Theater Workshop, The Kitchen, PS1 and Danspace Project (among others), and internationally in Arhus, Denmark and Bucharest, Romania.
