ANTONIO RAMOS & THE GANGBANGERS – DANCE NEW YORK
ANTONIO &
THE GANG BANGERS
COMING UP
THIRSTY MIND, LOVE & STARVATION SITTING IN A LONELY TREE
The gang fabricates a gloriously chaotic performance from shiny lies, physical hyperbole and naked flesh in an attempt to find the glitter trail to truth. With an eye towards exposing the invisible marketplace – where transactions are made in bodies and paid for in program notes – Ramos and his six Gang Bangers present exaggerated and abstracted characters created from personal neuroses dredged up through the labor of “making things.” Peter Richard’s video installation frames the live event with evidence of drug-induced source material, surveillance of the performers’ transformations and debris from all tomorrow’s parties, putting into question what truths are currently valued in the making and performing of live dance.

…boldly display their naked bodies in the face of moral codes and social norms, questioning our virtual existences that are often constructed by false or contrived circumstances and appearances.

This work is clever as hell... sheer beauty and style and, sometimes in Ramos himself, a kind of ancient classical heroism.

WERK
This is a discription
By using performance to display the body in states of innocence, vulnerability, ecstasy and irreverence, I humbly offer an antidote to the ubiquitous messages of violence, greed, hubris, and fear that bleed into the collective consciousness through an insatiable consumption of media.
ANTONIO RAMOS
Artistic Director
I intentionally create Dances that push limits and ask questions about the roles our bodies play in personal and political spaces. In the face of moral codes and social norms, why is the beauty of the unclothed body so easily dismissed as obscene?
My work, straddling both high and low art, is an attempt to rally against the censorship of nudity by the so-called civilizing forces that police our virtual and actual arenas.
