We are thrilled to present performances by artists who have been part of TOPAZ ARTS' 25 years as a creative development space. We are honored to have Molissa Fenley, whose creative practice has been with TOPAZ ARTS since its beginning, performing a solo with a sculptural object.

In the collaborative work by David Thomson and Samita Sinha, the audience enters into an ongoing continuum, creating a space and journey of activation and surrender: a dreamtime through body, voice, and vibration. In her practice, Sinha unravels Indian vocal traditions through the body and mind to create an open, liberatory language of vibration. Thomson's history exists amidst the intersections of movement, text, sound, and song, in his practice of revealing self and alterity. This is a practice and choreography of weaving vibrational space drawn in the moment, each performance singular and unrepeatable.

A new collaboration of words and movement, with Patrick Rosal and Paz Tanjuaquio, explore ideas of the shifting time and space, towards dance and the sacred. Using drawing, movement and writing in their individual creative and teaching practices, the artists first met in the early 2000s in residence at Atlantic Center for the Arts, FL, and are excited to collaborate on a new work.

In the gallery, TOPAZ ARTS features a collaborative painting by Todd B. Richmond and Manuel Ocampo. Created in 2018, this rarely seen work is entitled "Drunken Duck in a Kiefer Exhibition". Prints by Ocampo, commissioned by TOPAZ ARTS in 2012, will also be available to benefit our 25th Year celebration.
