MY GUIDE TO FEELING IT ALL
Angelina Benitez

Picture
my guide to feeling it all is an intricate movement tapestry portraying the wide range of human emotion imagined by Angelina Benitez, created and performed with Benitez and dancers Katrina Conte and Alexandria Nunweiler. Through this contemporary dance work, the performers seek to identify, portray, and celebrate the full range of human emotion - from the sad to the angry to the joyful and everything in between - embodying the contradictions that make up the human experience including the intersection of shame and pride, love and grief, anxiety and excitement. As a queer latinx artist, Benitez weaves themes of identity and self-acceptance into the narrative. She includes deeply personal elements of her own journey of "straight" allyship, monogamy, breakups, and polyamory. The work celebrates the beauty of authenticity and strength in vulnerability. Benitez invites viewers to embrace their own identities and express their emotions without fear or judgment, while challenging the societal norms that often encourage us to suppress or compartmentalize our feelings. Original recorded music by Adam Matthew, a singer-songwriter working with vocals, acoustic and electric guitar, supports the atmosphere of emotionality and empathy with Adam’s heartfelt and accessible indie-folk style.

The Click creates and performs primarily on land presently known as Wilmington, Sudbury, Somerville, Cambridge, and Boston, Massachusetts. We acknowledge that these lands are the original home of the Pawtucket, Massachusett, and Nipmuc tribal nations. This land acknowledgement is a formal statement to honor, respect, recognize, and pay homage to these original stewards of these lands and their enduring relationship with the territories on which we dance today. We acknowledge the painful history of genocide, violent removal, and forceful relocation as we honor and respect the many diverse Indiginous Peoples who remain connected to this and all land in our country. We urge our audiences to take the time to educate themselves on the communities that are indigenous to the land they live and work on. We encourage all our partners to continuously learn how they may contribute to protecting and supporting indigenous peoples and practices.
