My Body Your Eyes – Philly Fringe Festival

My Body Your Eyes

Runs September 28, 2025 at Old First Reformed Church, 151 N 4th Street, Philadelphia, PA 19106

PHILADELPHIA, PA: Western New York mulit-choreographer performance Your Eyes My Body comes to the historic Old First Reformed Church for one performance on Sunday, September 28, 2025 at 5:30 PM as part of the 2025 Philadelphia Fringe Festival. Featuring Nancy Hughes, M Neild, Laura D’Amico, and MahataMmoho Collective, the work invites audiences into a shared exploration of resistance, reverence and ritual. Doors open at 5:00 PM.

“I have both a chip on my shoulder about Western New York and a deep passion for the work made here. Our dance community can be a mix of interludes and stories of betrayals, but it’s also spacious and gives dance room to incubate in the inner world, like snow covering in Buffalo, NY. I’m excited for these choreographers to connect with a wider performance art community and expand our conversation.” – Nancy Hughes

MY BODY YOUR EYES is a trove of duets and solos. “If she is the storm, is she also the shelter” is a duet choreographed and performed by Nancy Hughes in collaboration with M Neild, inspired by intimate hierarchical relationships. The solo “It’s only human / nature” is by M Neild. It explores the duality of humanity’s relationship with nature-both the reverent awe we hold for its beauty and power, and the devastation we inflict upon it. Laura D’Amico has a new solo, performed nude inside a transparent five-sided box, drawn from her Fulbright research in Italy. A Community-rooted ritual by MahataMmoho Collective explores unity and collaboration performed by Arjumand Ali and his dance partner.
