"I create art that invites curiosity and play, inspiring individuals to engage in meaningful conversations that foster a stronger, vibrant and inclusive community."
In my solo devised work, I am inspired by vaudevillian variety theater and Living Newspaper performances from The Federal Theatre Project of the 1930's.
I love to combine my training in clowning, dance, music and circus to create topical yet comedic performances that cultivate conversation and leave you curious too!
BUTT WHY?
AN ASS-ININE SHOW ABOUT OUR CUSHIEST ASSET
An Original Solo Show by Julia deGruchy
Being a theater performer means you are constantly on display. Looking at your body in mirror for dance rehearsal, getting costume fittings, and trying to "look the part". I don't want to fit into anyone's box, I want to be myself, as unashamed, and present in my body as I possibly can be. Being a circus artist means your body is your instrument. We are told how it bends, how it looks and what you weight can play into your success while training. I want my body, however it may move, to move joyfully and freely, letting me express myself.
I hope you appreciate the way your body moves, how it ages and how it serves you.
Your body can be a joyful body. Love it.
