Performance | Jesi Cook: Whole body in my ear


A performance in which sound and body emerge as one fluid and dynamic textural form. The work sees performers splice and patch text, movement, and sound scores in creating new languages and porous realities. This endurance-based auditory fantasy pushes toward dissonance, using it as a means to explore and amplify otherness. The scores build, heighten, and erode an ouroboric circuit—with patterns repeating, leaking, and breaking apart throughout a shifting sculptural landscape. Performers: Jesi Cook, Ayano Elson, Amelia Heintzelman, Mina Nishimura Live Sound Mixing: Jeff Aaron Bryant Lighting Design: Daniele Sarti

Play | The Winter's Tale: Shakespeare's Tangled Traumas -- Outdoors


Barefoot Shakespeare Company is proud to bring this production to life for their 11th Season producing free Shakespeare in Central Park. The Winter’s Tale will be directed by Barefoot Artistic Director and President Emily Gallagher. Step into the web of The Winter's Tale, where time slips through fingers like grains of sand and the stubborn weed of jealousy takes root, choking out reason and sowing discord. In this tale of tangled narratives and generational trauma, powerful women stand as pillars of support and strength, cultivating gardens of forgiveness amidst the barren landscape of lost time. This is a journey where stories intertwine like vines as hope blossoms, and where the only certainty is the transformative power of love. This summer’s cast includes alumni and friends: Laurel Andersen, Carl Bindman, Andrew Dunn, Johnny Gottsegen, Kelly Blaze, Malavika Nair, Joe Raik, Tyler Riley, Regina Russell, Emily Thaler, and Ray Wilbur.

Dance Performance | Fallacies: Dance from a Dancer’s Perspective


Fallacies blurs the lines between original source and personal interpretation, constructing dance from a dancer’s perspective. Distorting referential choreography to reveal new patterns and physical possibilities, the piece materializes as a Rorschach test of dance. When the movement is stripped down, what do you see? By rendering movement through the lens of its performers, Fallacies makes invisible embodied histories visible. Choreography: Nattie Trogdon + Hollis Bartlett in collaboration with the performers
