nia calloway:
Great Orgasmic Dance (GOD) or Earth is Not One of Your Lil Friends

Planet Earth is screaming. Are you listening? 
A three-act reclamation of body, space, and pleasure told from an eco-feminist point of view. The Earth is a landscape of political warfare, BIPOC bodies and women's bodies are landscapes of political warfare, and god is a landscape of political warfare. 

This will be performed as part of a double bill with Fana Fraser.

About the artist

Nia Calloway

Nia Calloway is a multi-disciplinary artist who traverses the worlds of theatre, poetry, music, dance, and the healing arts. Through the combination of written word, sound experimentation, and explorative movement, she aims to create spaces of healing and introspection for her audiences. Driven by the desire to relate the natural world, supernatural phenomena, and the cosmos our bodies, Nia’s art serves to heal and reorient our collective stories around female bodies, QBIPOC bodies, and especially Black femme bodies. Nia’s NYC Off-Broadway credits include Behind the Sheet (Betty) with Ensemble Studio Theatre & How To Save The World In Ninety Minutes (Aaliyah) with The Cherry Lane Theatre). Nia has also performed her original poetry regularly at Symphonics Live (NYC) and has featured her work at the 2021 Berlin Poetry Festival (Berlin, Germany), Bowery Poetry Club (NYC), and Berlin Spoken Word (Berlin, Germany). She is honored to participate in JACK’s Radical Acts Festival.
