CDC Fest Artistic Director, McClaine T Gonzales will be choreographing the closing number of the 2026 CDC Fest Performance. @mrougemac
Title of work: “Mirror, Mirror…”
Description: Inspired by Silvia Plath’s poem, “Mirror,” in conjunction with the truths and lies we tell ourselves as we look into the mirror. This work will take on three different perspectives of the mirror and its relationship to conceptual “beauty.”
McClaine endeavors to create work about the human experience with a strong interest in exploring feminist narratives.
“I am most interested in exposing sociopolitical issues, and the emotionalism of humanity in its most raw state. By raw, I mean the bare and instinctive human qualities that can be expressed by the body through movement and sound. I continually investigate the power of the human voice and the effect it has on movement. My intent is to combine the power of gesture, spoken word, humor, and physical movement to present abstract yet narrative work. The challenge is to manifest the intimacy of the human experience, and yet still sustain the kinetic volume in the movement vocabulary. My goal is to present an amalgam of language, dance, and visual imagery in effort to forge an intimate yet conversational quality of theatrical performance.”
