now my hand is ready for my heart: intimate histories

Nicky Paraiso and Paz Tanjuaquio Theo Cote

Written by Nicky Paraiso
Direction by John Jesurun
Created in collaboration with Irene Hultman, Jon Kinzel, Vicky Shick, Paz Tanjuaquio


now my hand is ready for my heart: intimate histories is a deep exploration of an artist’s life, which investigates aging, identity, sexuality, class and race. It is also a celebration of an artistic community as it grows older and continues to make work, both individually and with each other. Choreographer/dancers Irene Hultman, Jon Kinzel, Vicky Shick, & Paz Tanjuaquio collaborate and perform with Paraiso.

 

Nicky Paraiso and La MaMa are participants in the Fox Foundation Resident Actor Fellowships, funded by the William & Eva Fox Foundation and administrated by Theatre Communications Group and additional support from 2wice Arts Foundation

A dancer in a black tutu and leotard and pointe shoes stands on one leg, with the other leg extended behind the body in a straight line. One arm is raised above the head and the other extended to the back parallel to the extended leg. The school director is opposite the dancer and wears a red DTH logo t-shirt and black pants and ballet slippers. She holds the hand of the arm raised above the dancer’s head with one arm and her back arm is extended and she is smiling at the student.
