dance/theater? dance and theater? theater with dance?
We've been working on A Mix Tape For Ophelia for about a year now, and from the beginning i knew it would be a combination of dance and theater. but no only has it been an interesting struggle to figure out what that means, where on the spectrum of performance arts we fall, it has been a process to work together, people with theater backgrounds, MFA dancers, performance makers... and as the lead artist, it has been imporant for me

Permutae
August 12th and 13th at 8pm. Permutae is a collaboration between artists Finley Coyl and Mary Franck with dancers Kyra Rice, Chrysalis Hyon, and Qilo Matzen that maps the expanding technological-biological horizon through representation and recreation of queer bodies, questioning the boundaries of that growth towards greater agency and the manifestation of desire. We began this piece with a fascination with technology's impact on our bodies. Cyborg fantasies, a third arm, tentacles, a hard drive in the head - we're

Rustling Silk Official Description
Rustling Silk, Avy K Productions’ new multimedia, structured improvisation, dedicates a poetic evening to the lost civilization of the ancient nomadic horsemen.

The symbol of the horsemen is one which holds deep personal meaning for us, having grown up in inner Asia. We will make
