Pioneer Winter‘s (2022 Creative Capital Awardee, Dance) Apollo is a dance-theater work exploring intergenerational queer dynamics, memory, HIV/AIDS, and legacy.

This biomythography uses dance-theater to delve into the intersection of personal history, cultural memory, and mythology. Apollo centers on legacy and connection and features bodies and voices that are left out of the canon. It confronts ageism and reimagines who gets to be seen and celebrated on stage. The work expands on what dance can be so bodies survive, thrive, and are witnessed.
