Anna Azrieli, Skirt Scrum - Ideas about manners and society, Jane Austen and Jane Eyre. But when it comes down to it there is a big hoop skirt, a space, and a body finely flailing.
Neal Beasley (pictured), kommun: a stud-ee - Descriptions of everyday life frame an everyday body - an "everyman" body - looking at the poetics of the banal and for the release of fantasies desperately humming beneath the tasks of daily life. Another dance, another body, and a dream of an "other" place. The ordering and reordering of language and movement seeks to reveal or invite something larger than the artist's stale ideas of what is possible or appropriate.
Justin Cabrillos: Troupe - Troupe explores the relationship between the American showman P.T. Barnum and a host of animals and people he put on display including Jumbo the elephant, the Feejee Mermaid, and the "Swedish Nightingale." The movement, voice, and text integrate selections of his autobiography and the language of disciplinary techniques for children. Inspired by Barnum's own mingling of different performance forms, this interdisciplinary solo brings together elements of the forms he popularized.
Jesske Hume - A dance to alter perceptions of the body, space, and time through both movement and stillness. Seeking limitations in order to push past them, the dancer is present and lives both in her body and in the space around it.
Carmine Covelli: American Tantrums - American Tantrums is a series of short installation art pieces. This marks the debut of Part 1 and will feature a small cast of un-recognizable faces simulating barely recognizable modern day tasks.
