Body Awareness
Annie Baker
It’s Body Awareness Week on a Vermont college campus and partners Phyllis and Joyce are hosting one of the guest artists in their home: Frank, a photographer famous for his female nude portraits. His physical presence, along with his chosen subject, threatens to unravel the home order. Phyllis is furious at his depictions, while Joyce is intrigued, going so far as to contemplate posing herself. Meanwhile, Joyce’s adult son, who may or may not have autism spectrum disorder, struggles to express himself physically – with heartbreaking results.
Body Awareness is a gentle and hilarious examination of intimacy, self-expression, and the human body.
