From renowned Spanish choreographer Jorge Crecis, Blueprints of Being is an homage to the experience of being a dancer: The joys, the trials, the injuries, the resilience, and everything in between that makes this profession and way of life a sacred and transformative of act. Through dance, acrobatics, ASL and spoken word, performers share stories that blend the realms of biography and fiction. In the process, audiences are invited to experience aspects of their own identities and histories echoed on the stage
