  • Outside of Your Expectations

    1pm

    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.

  • HAIR

    2:30pm

    a HAIR-raising experience of movement being influenced, manipulated and exaggerated from the hair on the dancers heads. Acting as a catalyst for the movement, HAIR essentially explores the physicality of one's head of hair as it's own form of movement within the body. How can our hair become the dance and our bodies act as a respondent?

  • I Hear You and I'd Like to Respond

    4pm

    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.

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

    5:30pm

    "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.
