Come closer. Let us tell you a story. It will be impractical but desperately serious. There will be commitment but no purpose. We will present, engage, amuse, tamper, take part, put on. We will gamble with our words. We will bet on your belief. We will live in our alternate reality, our fantasy, our storyworld. We will be the space in which tales move. We will define the scope of action. We will change, lightly and constantly. Will you join us?

Come see the play.

“What are we suggesting? What are the insinuations of these moments, oddities, gestures, lost grapes? Something is posited, something is floating, but not yet caught. Constant code switching leaves echos of previous ways of thinking, ideas lost in labyrinths. We can lose a memory that we’ve sung for hours. One we haven’t sung for days returns in an instant. They echo through the space, the text, long after the singing has ceased. We cannot unhear the music.

Let the bleed occur. Let one costume become another, remain until the image re-coagulates.But be like kids, picking at scabs acquired from sidewalks and trees and wood chips. Never let the blood stop.”

The different ways we absorb information. Some walk, to feel the vibrating air move against their skin. Some are supine, sinking into the earth. Some move purposefully in counterpoint, at a pace named casual anywhere else. Some are captured by tempo, bodies unaware of any other option. Some clasp their hands, earnest, projecting focus. But as time goes on, difference coalesces. This universe tends toward order.

On the road with infinity tights

It is closing night of our 3-show run here at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston. Having been in-residence at the ICA in August (working on PLAY), the space feels like a second home; the deeply adept and committed crew rocks.

During the Q and A last night, an young audience member (maybe 10 years old) remarked, “I take dance lessons and have seen many dance performances - I didn’t know that dance could be this way, I loved it.”  What an awesome gift to have the opportunity to expand ideas of what dance can be - there is nothing better.

This is how happy we'll be if we reach our Kickstarter goal.

We have 44 hours left.

We need about $5,000 more.
