found dance

bodyc­ity is always in flux, tak­ing in new mem­bers and shar­ing last dances with old friends on their way to new cities, new towns, new schools, new envi­ron­ments, and new bod­ies. As each dance is per­formed we have small moments to pause and con­sider what we’ve done and what we’ll do next. Right now, bodyc­ity is ten mem­bers strong, the largest we’ve ever been. This is excit­ing and chal­leng­ing, sched­ul­ing is a lit­tle tougher, but the dynamism of each mem­ber is what makes bodyc­ity. An espe­cially excit­ing part of bodyc­ity right now are the smaller col­lab­o­ra­tions includ­ing some mem­bers some times in sight-specific dance videos. These found dance videos include one made recently by our favorite local film­maker, Jac­into Astiazarán, in Echo Park. The other was made by some of us while hang­ing out at the Hunt­ing­ton Gar­dens sev­eral weeks ago.

We hope to con­tinue to make these videos inbe­tween our live per­for­mances, we are always col­lab­o­rat­ing with this city and are inspired by the dif­fer­ent spaces we pass through. We wel­come sug­ges­tions, com­ments, or secret maps to places in LA that need to be danced upon. Send us your mus­ings at bodycity@gmail.com or leave a com­ment bel­low.

bodyc­ity also has a new flickr account where we are archiv­ing all pho­tog­ra­phy of past per­for­mances. Add us as a con­tact and if you have pic­tures of any of our dances please send them to us so that we can add them to our account. Bel­low is one of many pho­tos you’ll find of our last dance, bodyc­ity IX: through the Glass Mass.


Thanks to our won­der­ful audi­ence, we hope you had as much fun as we did!
