Gay City Arts presents Manifesto
featuring Ilvs Strauss

Gay City Arts presents Manifesto, a playful, queer dance narrative performance that explores Womanhood. And California Red Sea Cucumbers. 

Listed in Dance Magazine's Best of 2014 list, the show is a personal exploration on what it means to create outside the realms of expectations and inherent ability, led by a clear voice over narration and a subtle, detailed dance. Topics of life purpose, femininity, gender, existentialism, living child-free, the potential of the human female body and marine invertebrate behavior take the audience on a genre blending stroll through personal and collective ruminations and aspirations.

Art is the voice, spirit and conscience of every community and is a vital tool for community reflection, dialogue and pride. Through Gay City Arts, Gay City collaborates with local LGBTQ artists to galvanize an audience for queer arts, foster the development of LGBTQ artists and works, and facilitate artistic excellence that is accessible. Gay City Arts is committed to presenting challenging, dynamic and excellent queer art across a wide range of disciplines, including theater, music, dance, film, spoken word, literary and visual arts.
