forced entry and other love stories

about

FORCED ENTRY AND OTHER LOVE STORIES focuses on intimate acts of love - raw, honest, marginalizing, and sometimes difficult to recount. It is a dance - a physical work that wants to understand why we love, how we love, what that love feels like, and how we recall it when that love is gone.

[Pioneer Winter’s] work, what he supports, what he thinks about and the ideas he voices, speak to and for people [...] it was provocative in just the way you want performance to be provocative, making you think about something you hadn’t or feel for someone you hadn’t identified with before; startling, exposed, unnerving, unexpectedly loving.
— Jordan Levin, Miami Herald
