Our curation of New Voices in Live Performance brings together works that explore states of being and consciousness. These artists are asking questions about queerness, feminism, presence, and embodiment through both topical investigations and abstract experimentalism. Please join us for a post-show discussion moderated by Marissa Perel.

She will premiere an excerpt of her choreographic staging of DUST, a ninety-minute experimental opera by composer Robert Ashley. Live interactive video design by Peter Price. Performed by a Megan Bridge, Christina Gesualdi, Beau Hancock, and Greg Holt.
