Leaves of Grass
Leaves of Grass
Directed by Jeremy Bloom
Choreographed by Nikki Zaleski
Once described obscene for its overt sexuality, Walt Whitman's collection of poems in Leaves of Grass takes on new life through a naked, dance-inspired adaptation. Conceived and directed by Jeremy Bloom, Leaves of Grass features a diverse, unclothed cast of over 20 performers rhythmically chanting Whitman's most groundbreaking poems including "Song of Myself," "I Sing the Body Electric," and "Out of the Cradle Endlessly Rocking." Experience Walt Whitman's epic text as chamber theater meets dance theater meets congregation meets celebration – and join Whitman in proclaiming, "If I worship one thing more than another, it shall be the spread of my own body."
