yesterday I had the absolute pleasure and honour to watch a dance performance that had around 40 non-professional dancers who moved and danced naked outside and in historical buildings and I just have to say. it was absolutely healing. there were old bodies. young bodies. bodies with various disabilities. trans bodies. intersex bodies. fat bodies. thin bodies. bodies in all kinds of shapes and sizes. bodies with scars and tattoos and piercings and hair -

and what you learn from watching 40 naked bodies, moving together, moving in spaces, moving against and on top of each other

is that every body holds beauty. and no body fits what is somehow supposed to be the norm or standard. and that's exactly what we all need. just ninety minutes of this and I don't think anyone will ever be able to make me feel shame again about my naked trans body, just because I saw others like mine dance, joyfully, naked, in spaces they're not supposed to belong.

#and everybody i talked to who also saw it was just as blown away #i cried. Several others cried. there was minimal music and some naked people jumped and humped some columns and it was an epiphany #to be fair most of the participants were white but i don't think it was for lack of invitation #the way esp. the trans and disabled people were accommodated here? I've never seen such effort put into making something this accessible #my posts #dance #body positivity
