Performance | //shrouded\\: Multi-Genre Living Poem Exploring Memory & Transformation


In this performance, multi-spirited Nigerian American choreographer, author, performance artist, and curator jaamil olawale kosoko's award-winning work is rooted in a complex interdisciplinary practice that merges theater, video, sculpture, and the exploration of queer Black theory. Their new work, //shrouded\\, is a living poem and performative ceremony that recasts the body as an archive of memory and transformation. Performed by kosoko and their ensemble of visionary collaborators, //shrouded\\ unfolds in a shifting veil of silks that conceal and reveal states of metamorphosis. As performers slip between presence and absence, mourning and joy, figure and shadow, kosoko dares to ask what it means to choose to go unseen—in an age shaped by surveillance and spectacle. A unique mash up of poetry, sound, and movement, //shrouded\\ invites audiences into the communal act of reimagining the future. This is a work in development performance. There are two ways to access this event: 1. General Admission, first-come first-served. Just show up! 2. Fast Track opening the Monday before the event at noon.

Opening Reception | Using Paint to Explore Bodily Movement 


This exhibition presents Adelisa Selimbašić’s paintings shaped by encounters with dancers in club spaces. Drawing on moments of movement, attraction, and fleeting presence, Selimbašić translates rave environments into painterly studies of the body as fluid, sensorial, and unbound by identity or function. The exhibition reflects on dance as a non-productive act, an embodied excess in which perception, desire, and form briefly collapse into one another.

Play | The Wolves: Drama on Surviving Girlhood


A turf field at the edge of town. Any Saturday morning. Nine girls warm up for the next soccer game. While the world is not watching, they talk about global politics, body image, sex, periods, genocide, knee injuries, fear, and ambition, often at the same time. They team up to survive inside a culture that rarely makes room for their complexity. The Wolves listens to the big-league richness of girlhood and the survival value of playing as a team. Written by Sarah DeLappe Directed by Miguel Bregante Cast: Kimberly Huang, Summer Hayes, Samantha McGhee, Olivia Weir, Tomoka Takahashi, Merryn Poole, Aurelie Drago, Rosie Wagner, Duru Hamutcu, Gabriella Marzetta
