Dance/sing
Five collaborators intertwine dancing and singing in an exploration of endearment, serenade, and whimsy. The performers (Tori Breen, Rodney Murray, Maddy Mikami, Lilly McGonigle, and Katherine Desimine) all consider themselves dancers first, and then singers, and are exploring how to break open that notion, and find as much power and confidence in their singing voices as in their dancing bodies. The singing voice feels less familiar, less predictable than their…
Constellations by Nick Payne
One relationship, every universe. Constellations, a smart and stellar two-hander by playwright Nick Payne, explores life’s infinitely unique outcomes and the endless possibilities that could have been. Marianne, a theoretical physicist, and Roland, a beekeeper, meet via chance encounter at a party. They soon date, then break up – at least in this timeline.

Carnivore

Utilizing a three-dimensional approach to choreography inspired by pregnancy itself, ‘Carnivore’ conjures body-images, fantasies, and phobias both aspirational and horrific. Monsters, spells, newborn babies, dead animals, and the process/practice of taxidermy–abject…
