    A Hair Can Split the Difference

    BLiPSWiTCH presents their seventh original evening-length work, a performance that situates itself and the audience within the realm of feminine agency. 13 dancers will visualize themes of strength, self-actualization, and unapologetic fallibility that mirror the work of equine-facilitated physiotherapist Linda Kohanov. Through mythological and historical representations of the horse and the feminine, this work indulges in the analogy of these two species moving through the world. Original score performed live by Cajun artist Kelli Jones and Austin musicians Josh Kavanaugh and Zack Wiggs.
    Wed.-Sun., March 29-April 2, 7pm. $25 and up.
