Nola Sporn + Zach James +

⚔️From the ashes of the twin flame rises the incestuous collaboration of Nola Sporn and Zach James. Improvised dance to idiosyncratic guitar loops cut through the spatiotemporal continuum like the whirring blade of a chainsaw. Nola and Zach give voice to the lovestruck primordial human condition through a combination as old as time. Music and dance ⚔️

Come see Nola and Zach and our other incredible artists at our Fundraiser Holiday Party Extravaganza on Sunday Dec 15 6-10pm - tickets at the door!

Leanna Grennan ._.gremlin._

As told through dear friend, Marion Storm ( ):

Leanna Grennan is a dance-maker committed to intense, formal experimentation through intimate process and performance. A trained dance/movement therapist, Leanna completed her Master of Science at Sarah Lawrence last year and has since written about the urgency of re-working our collective (re-)orientation towards death and dying. Hers is a somatic, relational inquiry. In dance, social, and therapeutic environments, she encourages expressivity as the throughline and as the bridge to what might be next. This—not without a tinge of romance, kitsch, humor, nostalgia, and embodied & devotional love to what’s here in the room and what has passed before us

🔦PERFORMER SPOTLIGHT🔦

Laurel Atwell + Molly Ross .machine +

‘A super duo inspired by internet dancing, Michel Gondry music videos, and Charli XCX’s extremely viral brat summer. My work is committed to making the invisible as visible as it agrees to be. What I make stems from my inspiration born out of my endless confusion. I like humor and beauty and I like tension and difficulty. I have a rubric that I’m deconstructing so I can achieve beyond what I can fathom and do so with more wisdom. The work is an attempt to merge the necessities and benefits of the organized group (towards policy, agenda, legible accomplishment) with the disorganized group (towards intuition, pleasure, the self maintained). I am contemplating the story, inching towards satire via melodrama, considering the performers’ ability to deliver, and making something that appeals just enough.’
