Dance Performance | Tere O’Connor Dance


This is a work-in-progress showing of a dance created on and with four emerging dance makers. O’Connor has had a mentoring relationship with each of these artists. This dance is the first in a series of three distinct works to be created over the next two years, each with a different cast and conceptual concern. In 2013, the works will be merged together to create a fourth dance. In this culminating project the dances will infect each other, erase each other, and change to become something very different from their original form.

City Walk | The Saints Tour


The Saints Tour is a journey through the city that traces the emergences and residue of saints in your small corner of the world. It has been scientifically documented that a disproportionate number of Saints are born in this very city - they emerge in various ways: sometimes they burst from a human body like a butterfly from a bark cocoon, sometimes they crawl out from under someone’s old, used up skin, sometimes this process takes a hundred years, sometimes it takes a second. By taking The Saints Tour, you significantly raise your chances of witnessing this singular event. The final stop of the tour includes a meal to be shared by all participants as thanks for your witness of this sacred event.
