Mette Ingvartsen is a Danish choreographer and dancer. 

At the heart of Mette Ingvartsen’s 7 Pleasures, twelve performers confront notions of nudity, body politics and sexual practice, questioning the borders between private and public space by literally placing the naked body in the middle of the theater public.

In this American premiere, pleasure becomes a perceptual as much as a political question. How do we use pleasures joyful potential to disrupt cliché images attached to nudity and sexuality?

Questions of kinesthesia, perception, affect, and sensation have been crucial to most of her work, which includes several site-specific propositions that have been seen around the world.
