"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.

Outside of Your Expectations is a healing, interactive, art exhibition in the form of a video installation and live performance. It explores social constructs that are put upon Black women and the ways that it can affect their mental health. Through West African's fast pace motions, Umfundalai's contemporary African reflective storytelling gestures, and Hip Hop's dynamic grooves, this video installation and performance depicts a mental fight. The fight against the belief that stereotypes define people. It goes on to demonstrate that when one takes time to heal, the individual is healing their inner child from the stereotypes they have grown up with and subconsciously took as their truth.The art exhibition is opening space to provide grace, love, and opportunity to be soft with one's self again.

Red is a big, broad, strong color that symbolizes much more than anger and love. Feeling Red transcribes the color red into movement, into something that the dancers and audience are able to feel.

RECEPTION is your chance to speak to and hear from an alien intelligence, channeled through one of Philadelphia's most charming improvisers.

In 2014, the first interstellar object ever sighted near our sun mysteriously changed course and tumbled away. Soon after, voices purporting to originate from Vega poured uncontrollably from the mouth of a local performing artist. Probing the intentions of the audience, this channeling walks a tightrope between a supernatural or psychological explanation.
