Lieber and Smith, Inc.
Lieber and Smith, Inc. is an artist-run nonprofit organization choreographing and performing our works. Isolated movements behind femme images have new meaning when taken apart, taken out of the “male” gaze, and reconfigured from the feeling within them. Durational movements highlight power, labor, and resistance as transformation, not as static achievement. Through performance and outreach we push for deeper transformation of bias, of how objectified bodies are understood.
We plan to grow this organization guided by our choreographic ethos of non-hierarchy and consensus. Our work is about partnership. Coming from separate histories of rape and shame, we found that together we could create artistic reenactments of these past identities, and transform ourselves. Our organization sustains artist families by remaining fully artist-run and operated. We provide feminist platforms for creative expression to voices that might otherwise have remained silent.
