Beasts and Winter Formal

Beasts by Gabrielle Schutz blends personal narrative with science fiction to explore the fine line that separates humans from animals. Through dance, music & live-feed video projection, this interdisciplinary performance asks us to examine our own potential for violence.

Winter Formal by Liz McAuliffe takes the sestina, a fixed-verse poetic form, as choreographic inspiration. Six events repeat six times each throughout the piece, following a spiral pattern. The events examine memory, shame, queerness & relationships—namely the relationships between the audience, the performer & her mother.
