A Beautiful Something: a performance by Julia's Body
| Anne and I in Oakland at SDS |

The title, 'A Beautiful Something' originates from the realization that there was no single word that could describe the raw
magnificence of these dancers in motion.

Anne Parisio and Kate Black from the BBC joined us at rehersals and conference performances, while making a documentary on
me for a series on Sex and Disability
❤️Julia's Body the dance troupe was an indispensable ensemble of San Francisco Bay area dancers gathered
to perform at two conferences and be taped by the BBC.
I had performed our second piece, 'Disposable Bodies', a Spoken Word dance, at a festival in Australia with nondisabled dancers,
but I liked having a continuum of body types better.
"Julia's Body" is also the name of the BBC tape (the Sex & Disability series is entitled, "Desirability").
I'm guessing it will be on around February 8, 2003 on BBC 3. But that's not confirmed.
