(Vancouver, BC) As described by Jacob Boehme, “BLOOD ON THE DANCE FLOOR explores the legacies and memories of our bloodlines, our need for community, and what blood means to each of us – questioning how this most precious fluid unites and divides us.”

Jacob Boehme was diagnosed with HIV in 1998 and is the driving force behind this incredible and powerful show. Boehme is the choreographer, dancer and writer from the Narangga and Kaurna nations of South Australia. Boehme, went in search of answers, by reaching out and connecting to his ancestors. Through a powerful blend of theatre, image, text and choreography, Boehme pays homage to their ceremonies whilst dissecting the politics of gay, Blak (a term used for and by Indigenous people of Australia) and poz identities.
