Program F: Parallax Drift & The Giving Tree

by Spencer Weidie

Parallax Drift by Spencer James Weidie is a new experimental choreographic work that explores the shifting nature of perception, identity, and space through a queer phenomenological lens. Rooted in the body’s relationship to structure, sensation, and the unseen forces that shape our perceived orientation, the piece invites audiences into a world where movement becomes a portal that unfolds, refracts, and disrupts fixed points of view.

by Francesca Marinaro

"The Giving Tree" is a dance-theater adaptation of Shel Silverstein's classic book, told through the mediums of dance and American Sign Language. The story explores themes of giving, taking, and the passage of time, drawing from the deeply personal experiences of Co-Artistic Director, Francesca Marinaro's deaf and hard-of-hearing family members.
