  • Outside of Your Expectations

    5:30pm

    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.

    in this speculative work of dance-theatre, a group of interdisciplinary Black queer and trans artists take on america's poisonous lust for the lone ranger.

  • I Hear You and I'd Like to Respond

    9pm

    In I Hear You and I'd Like to Respond, artists and audiences alike board a metaphysical flight, traveling together to a visionary place of collective imagining. A Professor and a Facilitator -both on the precipice of revelation - attempt, in their own ways, to explain the world around them, only to realize what they are trying to communicate is nearly impossible for others to comprehend. But as the bodies of the passengers are thrown into acrobatic flight, a certain truth is revealed: either we will put aside our differences and save each other, or we will fall.

  • The Body Politic

    5:30pm

    The Body Politic explores how individuals develop bodily techniques to negotiate with rigid regulations in totalitarian social environments. We question how highly concentrated power trickles down to private life and how tactics such as coercion, isolation, and fear-mongering affect the ways the physical bodies occupy time and space.

Instructions from a voice in their headphones will guide them through the piece as they assume the roles of Oedipus, Jocasta, Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks, with the casting decided by random chance.

    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.
