About RAWdance & LOVING STILL
Award-winning contemporary dance company RAWdance shares two excerpts from “Loving Still” (2023), a series of duets bringing queer ancestors to life and to love. Each duet is inspired by images in “Loving: A Photographic History of Men in Love, 1850s-1950s”, by Hugh Nini and Neal Treadwell, featuring more than 300 previously unpublished photos representing what was once considered “forbidden love.” The creation of “Loving Still” was made possible by the Artist in Residence program at Jackson’s Square’s 836M gallery.
