Inspired by the Femme-Punk explosion of the 1990s, Fatale explores the cultural impact of this movement and its ongoing relevance today. Drawing inspiration from the performances of artists like Tina Belle, Mia Zapata, and PJ Harvey, Fatale examines the reclamation of masculine gestures, feminine rage, and the power of rebellion. Through deep listening and uncanny unison, the dancers embody the revolutionary spirit of the era, highlighting how sensuality and defiance continue to shape our fight for autonomy and voice. Fatale is a visceral reminder that the echoes of this rebellion still resonate, demanding to be heard.

Ironic, irreverent, and fabulous, Club Caucus pokes fun at the theatricality of hollow political figureheads, and, as the piece progresses, explores what queer power could look like in the political sphere. By drawing parallels between the joyful and edgy showmanship of club culture and the larger than life showmanship of political figureheads, Club Caucus flips the traditional political narrative on its head. The commentary being: when we let politics become theater, polarization prevents us from finding similarities and humanity.

The duet, “Side by Side,” is informed by Crimson and Anna’s relationship as a long term queer couple. They experience life side by side, consistently taking in the same set of information and stimuli on parallel life tracks. This produces intense feelings of mundanity, interconnectedness, conflict, and euphoria. They investigate this concept through tableaus of mundane shapes such as sleeping and rising, performing synced abstract gestural tasks, engaging in aggressive partnerwork, and spinning in dizzying joy. Swinging from extremes of independence and codependence, this piece explores the journey of souls intertwined.

I hope you feel hollow– I hope you feel lucky– I hope you feel misunderstood– I hope you don’t find any rest until we do.

During young adulthood, conversations break loose, questioning the hierarchies of our society and grappling with the knowledge that the world doesn’t operate for the greater good. These conversations stir up connection, community and revolution. All throughout time young people have had these exchanges that emerge from friendship and foster a rage for change. Within the piece, two time periods intersect, realizing that while the specifics of their conversations may vary from decade to decade, the yearning for change remains the same. There's something frightening about the world always feeling like it's coming to an end, but there is also a comfort in knowing that it always has been– and that you are not alone.

Frequencies Within was borne of conversations with our cast about late stage capitalism, productivity, rest, and community. As dancers, our work is also our play. Yet our bodies are not always treated as precious vessels of inspiration, but rather highly specified machines set to the highest setting. We grapple with the work/rest dichotomy. When the body is still but the mind demands more work, we tune into an anxious buzzing emanating from the trapped anti-capitalist within. The radio frequency of an insatiable machine. How can we coexist with it and stay embodied? When the mind and body are free of expectation or guilt, we discover a geyser of energy erupts from within. The joy of dance floods back into the body. The heart’s compass points confidently to its true north: community.

What Lingers is a snapshot of the space where memories hover just beyond grasp, waiting to be forgotten. Set within a waiting room, memories slowly forget themselves and hope to be remembered. Every now and then something is recalled - in full color - only to be lost again.

Apart, A Part represents shifting power dynamics between people: how power is acquired and displayed, given and taken, physical and social, and what motivates us to come together. A non-literal but highly charged narrative unfurls onstage, wherein a group is established, one dancer breaks out and dancers are triggered to assert power in different groupings and with different energies. Sometimes the groups split in half, building frenetic energy and barreling toward each other. At other times one dancer separates from the group, asserting power or being left behind. By the end, the dancers turn their energy toward the audience creating a lasting impression of the nebulous performer/viewer power dynamic. They ask, who has the upper hand now?
