Dominika Bednarska is a writer, solo performer, poet and academic living in the SF bay area.

My Body Love Story chronicles one of the most important relationships that we have: the one with our own body.

Queer disabled femme Dominika Bednarska takes us through dance floors, shopping malls, and theaters to tell the story of how she learned to love her body. Using dance, poetry, monologues, and humor My Body Love Story explores the one relationship that you can’t ever end.

This performance is part of the AIRspace residency program and the National Queer Arts Festival.

It is also co-sponsored by FabledASP. There will also be performances by other artists in the AIRspace residency program.
