BODY WITHOUT ORGANS, a new dance theater work Concieved, Directed and Performed by  Maya Gingery with the collaboration of Visual and Performing Artist Brian Getnick and featuring Archie Carey on bassoon, shakuhachi and electronic interfaces.

After a successful premiere, BODY WITHOUT ORGANS: An Anti-Dance or Another Kind of Homage to Dead Heroes is being performed again in a new and improved version of the original. In the spirit of Deleuze/Guattari's concept, The Body Without Organs can never be attained but is always present, perhaps shining light on the paradox we all experience.  As in Life itself, we are completely immersed in it's web. Think Rhizome. Don't think of it as Power, but as it's antithesis. 

Butoh is it's closest ally in the movement arts.  The butoh artist searches for the authentic self through a collaboration and intimate encounter with history and environment.  The Body Without Organs, according to Delueze/Guattari, is the model for understanding our truest nature. BwO gives form to this concept through movement, light and sound.
