After 6 weeks of experimenting with chance, choice, and controlled chaos in Adam Smith's "Unreproducible Acts" workshop, these 8 artists have created "unreproducible" pieces to test in front of a live audience. Their work spans clown, sketch and performance art, and will never be quite the same twice.

Create a performance that's different every time... on purpose. Over six weeks you'll build chance into your process and create something that offers differing results every time you perform it.

Substantial People is a restless, itchy, aching dance-happening performed by a group of risk-taking dancers and musicians. It is a performance that wants us to recognize, re-sense, and shed identities and histories. An image, a story, a person, a relationship, a place. Something that understands you before you understand it, that enjoys you as much as you enjoy it.

Practice is a space for performing artists of different disciplines to come to together and focus explicitly on process over product. Led by dance/theatre duo, Andersmith (Arletta Anderson & Adam Smith). Practice is a space without the any pressure to make anything final, entertaining, meaningful, or even good. Each session focuses on collaborative choice-making and cross-disciplinary collaboration. Participants can expect to move, to talk, and to create with others. And it's always free.

Limit: 12

Deep Listening Workshop led by Crystal Sasaki.

Three locations will house an interdimensional village, desire lines bleeding out to rivers that will connect. Autonomy creating patterns that mold meaning. 

Through unity and confusion we make a place.  In the struggle we build our stories. The undulating echo of proximity nests houses inside of houses, dissolving into homes. Being bonded/ tribal and still living in the mountain cave.

For the last twenty years Jesse Perlstein has been making sound art and music under various monikers and with collaborators. He scores a pastiche of recontextualized moments captured from the field, using tapes, vocals and other manipulations to create meditative sonic tapestries. Echoes of Field is a celebration of his work, inviting two movement  artists, Kensaku Shinohara & Arletta Anderson, to perform original scores to his past works, providing new context and interpretations. In addition, Jesse will be performing a new solo work for sound and movement. These performances are bespoke for time + space and 1-night-only.
