In “Object” Kairos Dance Theater Explores Feminine Cliches, Gender Stereotypes
Presented by Kairos Dance Theater
Culminating a four-year development process, KAIROS Dance Theater’s multimedia dance
performance “OBJECT.” explores and explodes the objectification and media manipulation of
women, focusing on the feminine experience, questions of gender, and the resilience found in
survivors of all types. Set to music by Ani DiFranco, Annie Lennox, Beastie Boys, Robert Palmer,
Fiona Apple and others, the choreography blends contemporary dance, pole dance and video
dance, drawing inspiration from iconic Hollywood and fashion imagery, feminist poetry, and
personal stories of female-identifying community members.
