Tamar Rogoff’s Drop Dead…Gorgeous ushers audiences into the studio of a TV game show that gives the contestants the chance to win their dream body. As they compete to shed pounds, gain inches and reverse the aging process, the show’s charismatic yet troubled host offers the audience the opportunity to buy their way to beauty. This multimedia dance performance explores our culture’s obsession with the one “perfect“ youthful body and the intersection of money, media and madness that keeps us going to greater, more dangerous lengths to find happiness in the mirror. As Rogoff reached puberty, the perfect ballet body alluded her. Out of those early struggles came her lifelong choreographic approach: body scripting. In Drop Dead…Gorgeous, this approach plucks the contestants from the world of the game and returns them to paradise—their birthright, where all bodies can be experienced as sensual and worthy.
