Lead Faculty Member Danielle Georgiou will present a new experimental work of dance theatre for the Danielle Georgiou Dance Group, Without a Body, which questions the intellectualization of the human experience as though there were no body or nobody. Georgiou will be choreographing to an original score by musician Black Taffy—Without a Body marks the sixth collaboration between Georgiou and Black Taffy.

Roberto Alvarez will present a duet entitled Getting Closer to the End that explores an intimate relationship that is nearing its end through heighten moments of contact improvisation. Kiera Amison will present, /əˈdikSH(ə)n/, a collaborative work that explores the journey of addiction, and each dancer will travel an unknown path forward toward recovery. Claire Augustine Hixson will present Found Objects, a collaboration between Augustine Hixson and musician Jamie Reyes. Through dance and percussion, the performers have developed a piece based heavily on improvisation with a primitive aesthetic.
