Liz Lerman's "Radical Derby" - International Festival of Arts & Ideas

www.artidea.org

By necessity, the women in Connecticut's thriving roller derby community know how to protect themselves (and their teammates) in body and mind, reading and deploying complex group configurations and highly personalized techniques for body-checking, passing, blocking, falling and recovering. Their stories and movements captivated the Liz Lerman Dance Exchange and resulted in this quick-witted performance created by the skaters of RollerDurance with associate artistic director Elizabeth Johnson.
