Play, an MFA thesis Project by Gina Hoch-Stall, which began with a question: "How to make the work you're scared to make?"...FAST FORWARD through hours of experimentation, improvisation and conversation that generated...PLAY: a dance theater work turning itself inside out to reveal the awkward humanity breathing inside its delicious skill;
A new work by Abbie and Catie Armbrecht that emphasizes holding and breaking focus between dancers as well as the pairing of movement and music dynamics;
They wouldn’t let us call it what we wanted to call it … See/Saw, by Bita Bell and Fenella Kennedy…three points in space, two bodies, one house;

Point of Intersection, by Kara Komarintsky and Isabel Smith, which explores the geometric relationships of mathematical functions that produce contact between two objects;
