Alayo Dance Company: Mouth Of A Shark

A reflection on the lives of immigrants, Mouth of A Shark is inspired in part by Somali poet Warsan Shire’s poem Home. It will incorporate the choreographer’s extensive knowledge of Afro-Cuban dance forms into a conceptual framework of the dual identities of immigrants. It is also informed by the time Alayo spent in his birthplace of Santiago, Cuba in 2020 and 2021, working with young professional dancers from Danza del Caribe—the company he danced with before immigrating to the US. The movement created and filmed in response to Shire’s poem,“No One Leaves Home; Unless Home is ...”

ChrisMastersDance: Mausoleum

In this new evening-length work, which is site-adaptive for being performed in the round and in the proscenium, dancers become videographers, redirecting the audience's gaze through live simulcast projections. Overstimulating and nonstop, the work interrogates our overconsumption of media, addiction to drama, inertia that concretizes unsustainable forms of life and work, and the inextricable link between love and loss—death only matters if care is established.
