Description:

SUBSCRIBESign up for Goings On, a free weekly e-newsletter. In Heel on Earth, Leah Aron lets viewers into the dance practice she has adopted during Covid. Aron, who worked as a stripper in a bygone pre-Giuliani New York City, hadn’t danced in years when the pandemic hit. But in the privacy of isolation, she eschewed pandemic sourdough baking in favor of reclaiming her own body, hiring female dance teachers and learning routines in her Brooklyn apartment. At once a long durational performance for one, a refutation of an objectifying gaze, and a study in discipline and muscle memory, Heel on Earth invites its audience to witness the rebirth of a dancer, an anti-cam girl for the lockdown age. In collaboration with Mark Shaw. Choreography by Sophia Marrapodi and SassClass. RSVP for this event by emailing arantxa@franklinfurnace.org. There will be a limited amount of time for audience participation towards the conclusion of this free FF Loft presentation. Registration closes two hours prior to the event. This work was made possible, in part, by the Franklin Furnace Fund supported by Jerome Foundation, and the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council, the NYSCA Electronic Media/Film in Partnership with Wave Farm: Media Arts Assistance Fund, with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature, and The SHS Foundation.

Franklin Furnace's mission is to present, preserve, interpret, proselytize and advocate on behalf of avant-garde art, especially forms that may be vulnerable due to institutional neglect, their ephemeral nature, or politically unpopular content. Franklin Furnace is dedicated to serving artists by providing both physical and virtual venues for the presentation of time-based visual art, including but not limited to artists' books and periodicals, installation art, performance art, 'variable media art'; and to undertake other activities related to these purposes. Franklin Furnace is committed to serving emerging artists; to assuming an aggressive pedagogical stance with regard to the value of avant-garde art to life; and to fostering artists' zeal to broadcast ideas.
