PERFORMANCES

An Evening at the Theatre
Sue Meier / Ruby Schweitzer

A site-specific twist on the approach of dance and film.

ARGRNIIVVIANEGL
Karola Luttringhaus

With live music performance by Mike Biskup and Karola Luttringhaus, this work-in-progress piece in its state as such reflects the liminality of how Karola experiences life: fleeting, never settled, uncertain, miraculous, and not really graspable.

Art vs. Artifice
Juliet Celeste-Malit / April Schweitzer / Ruby Schweitzer

A juxtaposition of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and generative AI raises questions about who creates and how.

connected
Madison Stancill / Jackson & Co. / Wil Fell

As humans, we long for connection with others, but often hesitate not because we don’t feel deeply, but because sometimes we feel too much.

Entanglement
Linda Ann Webb / Patrick Ogelvie

The phenomenon of quantum entanglement theory is the idea that particles of the same origin which were connected always stay connected, even if separated far apart in time and space.

FEAST OR FLOCK
Wells Jackson / Jackson & Co. / Lauren Lunsford

//Begin// ALERT!! Monsters are real, entities have been spotted worldwide. Hide your children and remember; not all vampires have fangs!! //Repeat//

Haunted
Sorsha Masters

Your mind is a house. Some are bright and seemingly perfect. Some are haunted by darkness and secrets. How do you care for yours?

Love Me
Dimitri Cápri / Patrick Ogelvie

A journey of self-discovery through movement, celebrating inner strength, healing, confidence, and the realization that true worth begins with embracing and loving oneself.

Mine
Mirla Criste / Susan Kranyik

A red-and-white cautionary tale for these amazing times.

Rays of Light
Tracey Varga / Patrick Ogelvie

A celebration of the music of David Bowie featuring synchronized dance and film. A non-narrative piece, the movement both onstage and in the film embraces the surreal and abstract while honoring the music’s simplicity.

Sad in Vegas
Sheme of Gold / Amanda Wolf

Experience mysticism as a detective tries to decipher why one is Sad in Vegas – a place where all people are and yet no one is.

From The Roots The Heart Blooms

Shea-Ra Nichi / Will Fell

"From the Roots the Heart Blooms" is a vibrant solo dance performance celebrating love's enduring spirit. Rooted in African diasporic heritage, this poignant piece blossoms into dynamic choreography, stunning visuals, and soulful Afrobeat music. Through abstracted scenes of joyful gatherings and warm textiles, love remains beyond life's horizon. Inspired by personal legacy, this performance honors the beauty of heritage and the power of love transcending boundaries.

The joy of the dance and the artillery it equips you with to find a path forward through the minefields that plague our sensibilities.

SKIN

An investigation into navigating this fraught moment in the history of our country, while living in our individual skins.

Essence of Being

at peace with perception and imperfection

Madison Stancill / Jackson & Co. / Lexi Collinsworth

A reflection on visibility, pressure, and perfection, not just as a dancer but as a woman learning to let go of others’ opinions and perceptions.

‍
