Human Movement Project (HMP), a Hyde Park-based dance and movement organization founded by choreographer Kim Holman, presents two performances of its acclaimed dance theatre work “Contradictions + Casual Self Loathing” on August 8 and 9 at Riverside Theatre Works. This marks the first professional contemporary evening length concert at this venue. Originally premiered in 2021, the piece has since been re-developed and expanded to include new stories and perspectives.
Everyone carries baggage. Moments of shame and awkwardness that linger: a botched hug, a bad high school haircut, times we stayed silent when we should have spoken up. “Contradictions + Casual Self Loathing” offers a window into the layered experience of womanhood and the societal pressure to internalize shame. How do we embrace our contradictions, learn from our discomfort, and find joy in every version of ourselves?
