Featuring a treasure trove of life lessons culled from vintage instruction manuals and old vinyl Self Help records join BONEdanseurs Janna Barta, Anita Fillmore, Atalee Judy & Mindy Meyers as they offer bits of wisdom, questionable advice, and anecdotes to create moving dichotomies. This is a Damage Manual emerges as a satirical, witty, yet humoured performance that offers as many absurd questions about the tropes of human behaviour as it answers.

Press Quotes:

Blistering signature works with highly passionate metaphors for the human condition. The Chicago Reader

[Breakbone] is formidable... weaves brazen genre crossing with provocative scenes. The Chicago Tribune

Through her critically acclaimed Breakbone DanceCo, Judy deploys a signature blend of martial arts, moshing and contemporary dance (which draws as heavily from butoh as it does from ballet) like dynamite to excavate the dark caverns of sexuality, femininity and violence. New City Chicago

Hypnotic... the graceful power of the human animal smolders in her slow, earth-bound movements, every cell vibrating with awareness and life. New City Chicago

The humor of the show is a testament to Judy's own artistic transformation, but not at the loss of her political ideals. New City Chicago
