Psychic Predator
My rules for making art: Have an idea. Doubt it. Fear it. Make something. Cry. Repeat. Psychic Predator is a solo, interactive, improvised dance performance for five audience members that embodies the internalized voice that stops or suppresses our creativity. Come help me turn the prey into the predator. Psychic Predator is a term coined and explored by Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes in her seminal work, “Women Who Run With Wolves.”…
Privy Privy
Privy Privy is an interactive installation that recreates the architecture of a public restroom one would find in a bar, club, or other queer haven. Central to this architecture are glory holes– holes cut into the walls and partitions of the space’s “stalls”, through which a stranger could stick an appendage, in order to give and receive anonymous sexual pleasure. However, in this installation, the appendage that comes through each…
Pink Lemonade
We want to build a carnival ride of child-like wonder (*BOING BOING BOING* *POP*). Our props and bodies will be manipulated, thrown, flounced, shaped, caught, dropped, flown, rolled, and morphed in order for us to share our thoughts, emotions, memories, and stories (YEEE! HOW EXCITING!). Our show will focus on playfulness and exploration (NOTHING TOO DEEP OR SERIOUS) utilizing simple story telling, lots of juggling, sky-high aerial ventures, partner movement,…

Perfect
Caleb, a nervous clowncrobat, wants to give the performance of a lifetime by accounting for and controlling every variable to guarantee the best possible outcome. As they carefully put all the external factors in place, we realize the one variable they’re having trouble controlling is their own emotional response to the pressures of performing. After all, art is only good, valid, and worthy of being shared if it’s absolutely perfect……….

Ohnonononononoooo 9/11MANComesREALLY reallyhardTONIGHT
A true to the definition 9/11 meditation, ceremony, ritual that takes you really way high up in the sky and smash your head into the glass windows of reality. The performance will most likely feel like we are all on the same ride but defenitely have different destinations in mind. There might be a slight struggle as to who picks the route. What is certain however, as it always is,…
