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!
