1 week ago

Rolling Point is inspired by the somatic practice of Contact Improvisation where through shared physical point of contact with another, an improvised movement dialogue is innovated. I'm your host Aaron Brandes, also known as Brando. I am joined by guest co-hosts as we interview artists, activists, and teachers who use the body as a lens to make sense of the complicated issues we are facing in the world today.

Keith Hennessy Part 1

Keith Hennessy was born in a mining town in Northern Ontario, Canada, lives in San Francisco, and tours internationally. He is an award-winning performer, choreographer, teacher and organizer. Hennessy directs Circo Zero, a laboratory for live performance that plays with genre and expectation. Rooted in dance, Hennessy’s work embodies a unique hybrid of performance art, music, visual and conceptual art, circus, and ritual.

Instigated by Keith Hennessy in 2001, Circo Zero makes live performances responding to political crises, while centering queer bodies and ideas.

Deeply rooted in dance, LGBTQ, and activist communities, Circo Zero participates in local and global justice movements, functioning as an artistic laboratory of civic engagement. Instigated by a white queer artist engaged in social justice movements for over 30 years, Circo Zero creates performances that offer a meeting ground for investigations of identity, history, and power.
