Tickets are available on Eventbrite or at the door.

Join us for Body Language, an evening of dance and performance art exploring themes of embodiment, resistance, grief, and justice.

Artists in this evening’s program include Von Bright, MG Bernard, Miles Zotti, Ryan Dorman, and more.
Cost:
$15 General Admission
$10 Discounted
$5 Scholarship / Lowest Rate
Children 15 and under = Free
MG Bernard – “The Things They Carry”
An ambitious performance that equates physical weight with the invisible burdens of navigating disability, chronic illness, and a hyper-ableist society. MG moves with weight on their knees between galleries—bearing the unseen toll of systemic failures in healthcare, public assistance, and societal empathy.
Mary Grace Bernard (MG, she/they) is a transdisciplinary artist, educator, advocate, and crip witch. Their work explores intersections between disability, spirituality, care, madness, and post-human existence—dissolving binaries and illuminating unseen narratives.
Miles Zotti – “Today We Remember”
A spoken word performance reading names of Palestinian children killed in Gaza and the West Bank. This act of remembrance and resistance honors lives lost and implores viewers to confront their complicity.
Miles Zotti (he/him) is a multidisciplinary artist working at the intersection of decolonization, queerness, and technology. His work spans illustration, live processing, and digital media. He currently studies Communication Design at MSU Denver.
Ryan Dorman – “a hard thing to do”
A poetic gesture of memory and identity. Seated across from a cup, Dorman attempts to spit sunflower seeds into it—playful yet futile. A looping poem speaks of “hard things to do,” turning a childhood memory into a meditation on care, solitude, and resilience.
ryan lee dorman (he/him) is a queer metalsmith and visual artist from North Carolina, based in Denver. His work draws on personal and cultural narratives to explore adornment, object-making, and queer identity.
ABOUT TEAGUE:
Teague McDaniel (they/he) is an interdisciplinary artist and curator based in the Denver/Boulder area. They are the Founder and Curator at Creative Integration Initiative (CII), adjunct professor at MSU Denver, and a practicing artist working across installation, social practice, printmaking, and performance. Teague holds an MA in Art and a BA in Art.
ACCESS DESCRIPTION:
Bus Stop Gallery is located in North Boulder. There are approximately 12 parking spots, 3 of which are designated as accessible; one has a ramp access area. There is a paved, flat sidewalk between the parking lot and gallery that is about 30 feet long. The entrance has a swinging door with no automatic opener and a gradual 1-inch grate bump.
There is one all-gender, accessible, single-occupancy restroom. The doorway has over 35 inches of clearance and includes a stability bar near the toilet. The gallery floor is flat concrete, and no scented cleaning supplies or air fresheners are used. Lighting includes bright fluorescent and natural light. The gallery will notify participants if flashing lights are present at any event. Sound echoes in the 500-square-foot space, and crowded openings can feel quite loud.
There is one emergency exit—the same as the front entrance. Additionally, all five glass garage doors can be opened in case of emergency.
