Zapatografía/Shoegraphy is a conceptual solo dance by Larissa Velez-Jackson, created in collaboration with members of the Henry Street Settlement Senior Center.
Using Velez-Jackson’s signature humor in its minimalist form, Zapatografía/Shoegraphy addresses the relationship between the longtime working class residents of New York City and its experimental arts community.
The work captures the tenuous nature of language and meaning when objects, words, gestures, costumes, pregnant pauses, song, dance, and diverse cultures are placed side by side.
