"The body is the medium for LGBTQ+ dancers—a prism through which to tell their stories, to demonstrate lives worth living in an often hostile world. Yet dance remains a bastion of heteronormativity, often reinforcing gendered, patriarchal norms. As LGBTQ+ bodies continue to be the focus of politics and legislation, these dancers’ work becomes prescient, inviting us to reimagine what it means to exist in the human form—and by extension, the social structures like race and gender that seek to govern it." - Coco Romack on our book A Sense of Shifting, which looks at queer artists using movement across twelve chapters.
