Dominica Greene presents: openings (World Premiere)

openings is a conceptual performance hinging on improvisation and audience participation, shaping a living dialogue around intervention and communal care. Guided by Greene’s voice through an invisible score — a pre-recorded audio track created anew each day — each performance unfolds uniquely in time. ‘openings’ asks what compels or prevents us from acting in moments of crisis or need, inviting multiple entry points to reflect on what love looks like, how human connection can be sustained, and the responsibilities we hold to one another.

Suzzanne Ponomarenko presents: Selections from: Tapestries (World Premiere)

Selection of Tapestries is an evening length Dance Theater piece guided by the curious narrative of The Unicorn Tapestries or Hunt of the Unicorn (1495-1505), reimagined through the queering out of Ukrainian Folklore and Tales. This non-narrative based performance consists of eight short vignettes developed through rigorous and quirky moment vocabulary abstracted from Ukrainian Folk Dance, Ballet, American Modern Dance, and Contemporary Dance. It serves as an embodied archive/ever-evolving Сморгасбург (Smorgasbord) of the subjective history of queer Ukrainian Culture and pays homage to the endless fight of all the Unicorns.
