REPERTORY HIGHLIGHTS
KITH
"What is a friend? A single soul dwelling in two bodies." Aristotle We were once like family. But now? It's hard to hold a stranger's hand. Even if you've known them all your life. You can't go home. KITH is a mapping of our bodies' hum story of chance, nature, compulsion, habit, reason and kinship. Sep 2017 Philly Fringe Festival
LINEAR DEFAULT
A rope, an audience and a stage full of dancers. What is the connection? Linear Default engages us with sequences, whre variables alter both sides. Sep 2016 Philly Fringe Festival
AS PRETTY DOES
Inspired by lost histories so true they seem fictional, As Pretty Does asks, What is it to be human? And takes a journey of provoking movement and humor where micro-storytelling meets pure dance. Sep 2013 Philly Fringe Festival
VOLCANO, MY LOVE
What is life without memory? Volcano, My Love is the story of a man who lands in paradise navigating survival, a mermaid and a puzzling selective amnesia. It is how we tell ourselves stories about places we don't know, create exotic spaces that hold onto us; then hold them in our hearts. Sep 2012 Philly Fringe Festival
AGNES FALLING
A coming-of-age fable inspired by Manifest Destiny, comfortable furniture, and the migration of birds. With dance, words, and song, a world inhabited by fragments of the unloved, the improbable, and the familiar.
