WE TWO BOYS

For Meshi Chavez adjustment to and interaction with one's surrounding are what dance-- and life-- is all about and what brings him full circle to perform We Two Boys in Albuquerque, his home town. The piece delves headfirst into the tension, vulnerability and tenacity that exist between two males fostering relationship with one another. An accomplished dancer and choreographer for more than 10 years, Chavez is co-creator of Momentum: Conscious Movement in Portland, where he teaches ongoing workshops and classes.
