BUCK:SKIN:RAW - except from Weaving Spirits Festival As a Butch Queen, dancing and performance of masculinity shift and changes. Dancing the buck, the earthly symbol of Sacred Rain: Tlaloc, as I was taught growing up, balances and leaps through binaries. And, water is sacred, as both a cleanser and an infuser. Being a “skin,” wearing skins, and code-switching drags as a Indigequeer Queen, marks and unmarks my own flesh…leaving my spirit raw and open. Performer: P.

Birds of Paradise: Josue The idea of the bird of paradise emerges as a queer response to the mythical phoenix, the bird reborn from its own ashes. And with 44 species of the bird of paradise - all of them incredibly unique - the title Birds of Paradise reflects the vastness of queer or marginalized experience, and the impossibility of stagnant definition. Performer: Josue GarciaVideography: Kevin Berriz and Ron BaezEditing: Ron BaezMusic: Juraj Kojš About Pioneer WinterPioneer Winter (he/they, b. 1987) is a Miami-based choreographer and artistic director of Pioneer Winter Collective, an intergenerational and physically integrated dance-theater company, rooted in social practice and community, queer visibility and beauty beyond the mainstream. Recognized in Dance Magazine's 25 to Watch, Pioneer Winter's work democratizes performance in public spaces, museums and galleries, stage, and film. A major objective continues to be expanding the definition of all that dance is and can be so that all bodies survive, thrive, and are witnessed in spite of constant erasure based upon race, body type, age, and ability - this goes for both the artists as well as the audience. Pioneer has been commissioned by Miami Theater Center, Karen Peterson and Dancers, Tigertail Productions, Jacksonville Dance Theatre, FundArte, and the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts, where Pioneer is the Center's first Artist-in-Resident collaboration in a decade. Pioneer has been a guest artist at universities, including Miami Dade College, Nova Southeastern University, Broward College, and Florida State College. Most recently, Pioneer's work has received support from NEFA's National Dance Project Award, MAP Fund, the Knight Foundation, the Andrew Mellon Foundation, and Creative Capital. An extension of his creative practice, Pioneer has curated and directed ScreenDance Miami Festival since 2017, presented by Miami Light Project; Pioneer’s own films screen internationally. Pioneer serves as Assistant Teaching Professor in the Honors College and College of Communication, Architecture + The Arts at Florida International University. Pioneer is affiliated faculty at the Center for Humanities in an Urban Environment (CHUE) and an inaugural Fellow in the Miami Studies Program. <a href="http://www.pioneerwinter.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.pioneerwinter.com/</a>
