Menarca at Under Exposed
Menarca
by Alessia Palanti
Performers: Alessia, Sara, & Diane
Menarca, a term meaning first menstruation, grapples with the relationship between menstruation and disordered eating. The loss of menstrual cycles, amenorrhea, is one of the physical symptoms of disordered eating, and it has lasting detrimental effects on one’s health. Although many women dread their period, its return can be a sign of recovery. But sometimes its return is simply the illusion of a victory against what is an enduring psychological condition. The piece casts a trio performing vignettes that dramatize bodily and mental experiences through repeating dance phrases, acrobatics, gesture, and theatricality. Menarca is informed by biographies and interviews with affected individuals. The piece encourages conversation in order to ease a stigma that is particularly damaging in the dance community.
