blue curfew
by WILD DREAM
Directed by Tamara Leigh and Nikki Theroux

blue curfew is a contemporary dance theater piece that explores the different personas we take on in private and various public settings. The work investigates the necessity of having spaces where we can fully explore our identities and be seen for who we really are. It ranges from gentle introspection, into a more chaotic exploration of club creatures and embracing fantasy.

Performers: Tamara Leigh, Nicole Leung, Louisa Miller, Sumayyah Smith, Nikki Theroux, and Mamiko Usuda

PRISONCORE!
By kanishk pandey

PRISONCORE!: A multimedia show that places the audience within a panopticon to examine the impact of an-always-watching eye. Focusing on the interaction between two characters, Lucky, the sole guard of the panopticon prison, and Rain, a VTuber running a blackjack table online, the show touches on aspects of unrelenting observation, power, and helplessness.

Written by kanishk pandey
Directed by Rachel Gita Karp

Cast:
Lucky – Rory Kulz
Rain – Maaike Laanstra-Corn

Media Design by Lauren Serafica
