Dance Performance | Rowing Upstream: Outdoor Dance


Zoe Map's Rowing Upstream is an unapologetic, abstract and dreamy performance. Three entities lost in ... more >> the middle of a parallel dimension will use shamanic dance rituals to manage evil, save humanity and the environment from full destruction. However, realistically, it's all already gone. Humanity is living in a projection of their own memories. Rowing Upstream takes inspiration from a typical manga narrative, where the apocalypse is seemingly always nearby. On the stage, the story is translated in a combination of dance styles used for specific tasks as super powers. In this staged vision, the versatile dancers become actors of life, where human emotions are suspended and spiritual practice is the only way to dominate ego and instinct for a deeper awakening. Those rituals become the exact moments where the dancer is the most vulnerable and shows all their divinity. Zoe Map is a multi- award winning filmmaker, dancer, and choreographer. In 2013 she opened a space for artistic expression and performance called "Exit Room". The unconventional gallery hosted and supported artists from all over the world and enjoyed a following of art critiques, art buyers and journalists who always promoted and reviewed her unique projects .

Play | The Winter's Tale: Rarely Staged Shakespeare Drama


The Drilling Company returns with this unique offering or ourdoor Shakespeare. The Winter's Tale is a ... more >> rarely-produced curiosity of the Shakespearean canon. Director Hamilton Clancy is re-envisioning the story of kings who are cruel without cause into a modern-ish tale of a highly dysfunctional dynasty in Manhattan and upstate New York. Clancy has couched the play in the modern world to reflect the tensions of our time. Jealous King Leontes, the play's central character, cannot accept truth that is self-evident and issues of probity and deception dominate the play, as in America today. Clancy asks, "What proof do you need to know something is a lie? And how easily will we accept a lie if it suits our expectations?" He asserts that the January 6 Committee's hearings made this aspect of the play impossible to ignore.
