Feeling Freudian? Go To the Dance Festival at LIU

A dance professor at Long Island University is putting mothers — especially his own — in the spotlight this weekend.

Dancer Nathan Trice will premiere his new work, “One’s Trilogy,” which wrestles with his mother’s paranoid schizophrenia, during his “Recognizing Women Project” at Long Island University on Thursday.

“It’s based on my personal therapy,” said Trice of his new performance. “I decided to create a work that illustrates me looking for understanding of my mother’s disorders.”

Trice added that he had long tried to comprehend his mother, who coped with psychosis, emotional abuse as a child, and a lengthy stretch of homelessness. Out of that yearning to understand her he developed “One’s Trilogy,” which even goes back generations in his family to try and gain understanding of his own behavior.

Trice’s show is one of four performances covering a variety of feminist topics that will run through Sunday. The four will be performed each evening as one bill.

One of the other highlights is “MOTHERS,” which examines the — you guessed it — mothers of famous figures like Gandhi, Che Guevara, and even Hitler.

“We’re looking at how mothers dealt with loss of their son. How they grieved,” said Trice. “Each dance solo represents an emotional connection between each mother and son before they became famous figures.”

Trice first started the “Recognizing Women Project” in 2001 after recognizing a lack of art addressing experiences from a feminine perspective.

“I grew up around women, and I saw an imbalance between men and women in terms of opportunity and expression,” he said. “The project is inspired by that imbalance.”

The Recognizing Women Project at Kumble Theater on Flatbush Avenue between DeKalb Avenue and Willoughby Street runs March 3-6. Check here for showtimes. $20.
