Visually-impaired choreographer, educator, activist, curator, and accessibility consultant, and a 2021 CPR Artist-in-Residence, Christopher “Unpezverde” Núñez presents their evening-length film A Garden in the Shape of Dreams: The Video Performance, which was filmed at CPR in Spring 2021. The film is part of an ongoing series of works by Núñez which explore childhood memories and audio description across mediums. After the virtual screening, Krishna Washburn, a visually-impaired dance artist and Artistic Director of The Dark Room, will facilitate a conversation about the work with Nuñez and the film’s collaborators, including Michelle Mantioni, Alex Romania, and Poncho Castro.
Captioning will be provided for the film, and ASL interpretation will be provided for the conversation.
This program is supported by a City Artist Corps Grant from the New York Foundation for the Arts and the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, with support from the Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment and Queens Theatre.
Sunday Salon is an extension of CPR’s Artist-in-Residence (AiR) Program, and provides a platform for AiRs to share their current practice with the larger CPR and NYC performance community. Sunday Salon may take many forms, including presentations of live work, artist talks, and presentations of research, materials, and ephemera.
