Naughty Bits
The Strand Theatre's New Century Series presents
Sara Juli's Naughty Bits
Acclaimed solo performance artist, Sara Juli's newest piece, Naughty Bits is a dance-play set inside her memories to examine survivorhood, while finding levity within the tragic. With dramaturgy by Michelle Mola, projections by Devon Kelley-Yurdin, lighting and sound by Justin Moriarty, and costumes by Carol Farrell. Sara has been described as a "skilled comedian, actress and dancer" and "a light of the downtown dance and theatre scene." Naughty Bits finds the forgotten bits, funny bits (and wobbly bits) of putting one's mind and body back together.
Naughty Bits has been commissioned by the Strand Theatre in Rockland, Maine, through their New Century Series with additional support from the Maine Arts Commission, and the American Rescue Plan Maine Project Grants, a subgranting program administered by SPACE for the National Endowment for the Arts. Naughty Bits residency support was also provided in part by New England Foundation for the Arts’ New England Dance Fund, with generous support from the Aliad Fund at the Boston Foundation.

"Sara Juli has been creating and performing comedic dance-theater for two decades. Her ability to hold an audience’s attention with abrupt changes in style reflects that experience." - Theaterreviewsfrommyseat
