all things under dog, where two things are always true

 
With Joy Norton, Amanda Wallace, Kate Williams, Maxi Hawkeye Canion, and Reed Rushes.
Original music by ADR (Aaron David Ross) and including music by Eartheater.
 
In all things under dog, where two things are always true, Monica Mirabile looks at the ‘mafia’ as an outlaw ecosystem rising from a lack of resources to cultivate a support structure. Working on a therapeutic level within this architecture, Mirabile builds out a collapsing of time from the combined personal histories of the performers and herself—working through questions of grief, trauma, support, and ultimately resilience in family systems and the society they are influenced by. all things under dog travels through symbolic representations of a house—with five distinct rooms dividing The Keith Haring Theatre—and a black hole. Heightening the intimacy of the work, the audience, viewing the piece in small groups, move through the rooms with the performance.
 
Mirabile seeks to bring the “often healing, life-affirmation that happens for the performers in rehearsal” to the performance. In this way, all things under dog, where two things are always true exists along the continuum of the work the artist has been doing at Performance Space, including leading Open Movement, and her participation as a cohort member of 02020.
 

Access Provisions: ASL will be available on November 19 at 6:30 pm.

Co-presented with Creamcake Berlin/HAUHebbel am Ufer.

Remains Persist evolves throughout its duration. Please spend as much time as possible.

To Moriah Evans, choreography is a social process. Her work draws on somatic practices and feminist critiques of performance and visual culture to expand dance beyond the visible. In her latest work, Evans examines how historical and ongoing forms of socio-political transformation remain as information within the body. Remains Persist works from the remainders—of ancestral histories, lived experiences of race, societal catastrophes, socio-political hierarchies, displacements, imaginations, fantasies, pleasures and more—that live differently in each of our bodies. If this information is invisible, can it be consciously activated and witnessed through movement, utterances, and language? Evans charges the theater with its potential to reconfigure power structures and systemic inequities. In the artist’s own words, “A lot of my work has been about dance and referencing discourses within dance, but this piece uses dance to contend with discourse in the world. And with that, I’m claiming dance, or the body, as a site where people can heal.” Remains Persist evolves throughout its duration. Though the work is open and porous—late seating is permitted and the audience may enter and exit as they please—it is recommended that attendees spend as much time as possible in the space to enable experiential transformation. As Evans puts it, “the longer you stay, the closer you get to theater.”

*Season afterparty with BIG GAY IDIOT DJ on Friday, October 28 at 9pm.
 
With C O M P R E S S I O N, Niall Jones continues a practice of dis/assembling the theatrical space. Trained as a dancer, the artist builds his work through scores that rely on circumventing mechanisms of language. Through this process, his work undermines what we take for granted about the theatre, its fixed architecture and temporality, and the relationship between bodies and materials within it.
 

Livestreaming and live captioning will be available to ticket holders on Friday, Oct 28 at 7:30pm.

Audio Description will be available via Assisted Listening System (ALS) headsets for the duration of the installation.

Kiki Ball

 
Legendary Shy Juicy, Mother Nicki Juicy, Icon Snookie Juicy presents The Pink Print Ball💗
 
We’re teaming up with our neighbors, The Alliance for Positive Change (formerly AIDS Service Center NYC) to bring to you, the Kiki Ball.
 
Emerging out of the historical House/Ballroom community, the Kiki scene is a highly organized and creative youth-led organization. It centers around so-called houses, with complex kinship structures, that function as vital support systems—support systems that the government and biological families often fail to provide. The underground scene is best known for its lavish balls, where performers present their unique looks and movement styles, competing in different categories for their respective houses.
 
Free and Confidential HIV testing will be available on-site for free entry.
