  • You shouldn't be doing what your doing on that Ladder

    9pm

    "You shouldn't be doing what your doing on that Ladder" deputed in February 2020 and now returns to tackle the instability of mental health in 2022. Using three different sized ladders, a solo clown performer, Peter Nicholls, strings together success and failure in his pursuit to reach greater heights of well being and ladder steps. Hilarity and terror ensue as the ladders humiliate, confuse, crush and even lick our troubled clown. Filled with spectacle, laughs, tears and fears, Peter attempts to perform the greatest ladder trick ever seen but must first accomplish a more impossible feat: finding the desire to get out of bed in the morning.

  • Green Card Project.

    6pm

    ...the applicant was becoming a well adjusted performer as they had to tell several stories to the audience of one (the officer), and also make sure that they are assuming the right personality for their "character".

    ...the applicant was never a good actor, or a theater enthusiast to begin with. They in fact would suffer from stage fright every time they were tasked with something as minimal as announcing a short statement to a group of people... But this, this was giving them quite a thrill.

  • Survival In Ruins

    5pm

    Survival In Ruins is a memoir that contemplates grief, motherhood, and slowness. Inspired by the recent birth of her second son, a father with Alzheimer's, and mycelium networks - a body moves forcefuly slow confronting the reality of the making and unmaking of a life. Lost, forgetful, in need, revealing its triumphs and tribulations. How does one submit to falling forever?

    Survival In Ruins asks us to sit inside growth and loss, stillness and silence, and what it means to be called into extreme presence. A falling that moves us to pieces.

    This is a work in progress showing. Around 30 minutes of material will be shared with a 10 minute aftertalk. 10% of the artist's proceeds will be donated to Abortion Liberation Fund of PA.

  • BLAZE

    6pm

    In this semi-autobiographical solo, McGonigle dances herself into a world inhabited by the ghosts of familial anecdotes. Considering the stories she has heard, but never embodied, she amalgamates herself into a cast of characters that occupy her immediate and extended family. Exploring these repetitions of past and present, she fuses together fragments of alternate histories that interrogate the notion of family, and considers how narrative gets passed from generation to generation.Utilizing illustrative texts, recorded interviews and rigorous dancing, BLAZE paints an intimate portrait of a family that existed before, during, and perhaps even after McGonigle.

  • Visions

    9pm

    This evening of Visions features work from Annie Wilson, Z Farrell, and Philadelphia newcomer Colby Calhoun (Very Good Dance Theatre).
