SORTING THE COATS by Avye Alexandres
My grandmother knows I'm family but she's not sure how.
Once, she wrote: My home is my home is my home.
And then: A new page a new date, I wish I could say a new life.
I am tied to the house now.

HEROCYCLE by Erik Hoover

INSOLENCE by Dominic Orlando
inspired by Krapp’s Last Tape 
Alone in his basement, a Man reviews the short videos he’s been making since his teens, a digital record that leaves little room for the consolations of memory and nostalgia.  Can he find inspiration to continue, or will we witness his last frame?

WELCOME TO THE SHATTERING WORLD
by Mad King Thomas
Welcome to the shattering world, where everyday life collapses and re-orders endlessly. The big picture comes apart in the small moments: a dead squirrel frozen in dirty snow, the smell of lilacs and rain, a broken vase on the floor, a stranger crying on the bus. As the world hurtles toward an unknowable future, Mad King Thomas asks, "What do we do in the meantime?"

WEEK TWO: ISOLATED ACTS
JUNE 13-14-15 • 8 PM FRI-SAT • 7 PM SUN

Justin Jones
PINHEAD

Hello life. Hello happiness.  Hello Pinhead.
Equal parts ode and elegy, PINHEAD is a
response to Bob Fosse’s All That Jazz. A
pseudo-auto-choreo-biography, set in the
harvest-gold drenched house in which
Jones grew up, the work probes relationships
between architecture and memory.  It also
mines Jones’ experience in suburban studio
dance training, investigating how that environment
was both emasculating and ‘masculating.’  
Featuring performance by Sarah Baumert,
Justin Jones, Anna Marie Shogren and
Dylan Skybrook and set construction by
Karen Sherman.

Leah Nelson
TECHNI-COLORED BLUES

Coming from different parts of the universe to call this midwestern point our home, we know we are visitors. 
We are reminded everyday. But we also are welcomed
by others whom we recognize as we have recognized
ourselves - as "other".   Leah Nelson teams up with
Roxane Wallace to move the stories and speak the
dance in this fresh investigation of identity, featuring
the multimedia and visual imagery of collaborators
Ta-coumba Aiken and Douglas Ewart.
sponsored in part by
F. Clayton Tyler and Jackie Cherryhomes,
Archie Givens and Carol Meshbesher

Becca Barniskis THE QUEENSBURY RULES By turns comic, dark and lyrical, this short, poetic piece uses boxing's traditional rules as both metaphor and structure to explore how we get away with the large and small indignities we heap upon each other daily.
