LAF 2026: Omnimedial + Get this party started + Is Time Beside Us? + undone

by Soleil Mousseau

Dance Performance

Content Advisory:

None

Dance Performance

Get this party started explores the unending consequences of an action, when each “thing” leads to another, and each “thing” is recognized as substantial. The similarities between rumination and dreaming are investigated through repetition, duration, and intersections of “things”.

Content Advisory:

Pulsating lights, potential strobe.

by Hannah Latta

Dance Performance

This work interrogates the friction between human consciousness and the relentless forward motion of time. Through intricate, ever-changing spatial arrangements and rigorous repetitive movement, the performers test the limits of focus, pulling the observer into a shared state of distortion.

Content Advisory:

None.

by Sara van Gaalen

Theatre Performance

Content Advisory:

Partial nudity.

About LIVE ACTS FESTIVAL

The culmination of creative research over two semesters, the Live Acts Festival 2026 is a presentation of BFA capstone projects created by SCA Theatre & Performance and Dance Majors with support from students in Production and Design. Over two weeks, 30 artists present solo or group works in a series of double or triple bill programs, across three unique stage configurations – Proscenium, Alley, and in the Round – all presented in the Fei and Milton Wong Experimental Theatre.

Please note that all of the works are currently in process, and subject to change in content, title, and duration. Kindly visit our website for up-to-date information. Live Acts Festival
