It's summertime - time to share some of the playful moments as the dancers work on their creations during the Re-Centering/Margins Creative Residency! Here is Ysa - love those spins! Over the next weeks the Residency Artists will share some of their in-process writings, time in the studio, costumes and anything else that is important to them as they move through the creation of their works that they will share with you in the end of Residency showing in October - more to come!

This past June, Marco Esccer and Ysadora Dias were invited to participate in a creative residency at the Venables Theatre in Olive. Marco and Ysa have been collaborating in interdisciplinary performances since 2021. They used this residency to further develop excerpts to be presented at STAND Festival 2024. The work intersects with topics of migration, language, family and queerness. Marco and Ysa shared snaps of their creative endeavors at an open showing where the audience had the opportunity to talk with them and learn more about their creative process. @venablestheatre @marcoesccer @ysadoradiass @cdn.heritage
