ABOUT THIS PERFORMANCE: Choreographer and dancer Jerron Herman joins with longtime collaborator Candace L. Feldman to develop Many Ways to Raise a Fist, a full-length devised theater piece produced by INTERIM and featuring a fully disabled cast. Drawing from Aeschylus’ Oresteia, where justice and superego are entangled in an eternal battle, the play centers Pros, who sits marooned on a literal and metaphorical island awaiting a trial on his “thought crimes.” The piece is written and performed by Herman, based on a 2019 solo. This new extension welcomes multifaceted artists Christopher Unpezverde Núñez, Ogemdi Ude, and vocalist/composer Molly Joyce. Together the ensemble will, through litigation and Structuralism, devise defenses that interrogate the method and necessity of protest.Jerron Herman is a soulful, driven disabled, black, queer artist committed to collaboration and joy as a performer/director. He has premiered works at Danspace Project, PSNY, and The Whitney Museum of American Art. Herman has activated museums like The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Cooper Hewitt Design Museum, and the Guggenheim with daring interdisciplinary installations. He was also the choreographer and co-director of Sensorium Ex, a new opera composed by Paola Prestini with libretto by Brenda Shaugnessey. He is a part of INTERIM, a boutique centering joy for disabled artists helmed by Candace L. Feldman. He has received fellowships through United States Artists, NYU/Center for Ballet and the Arts, the Foundation for Contemporary Arts, the Jerome Foundation, and Disability Futures, among other accolades.Candace L.
