The great blue heron rises, a spell drawn from still water — guardian of the forgotten memories only music can recall.

Did you hear that they closed down the locker room sauna? Yeah. I guess there was too much cruising going on. Isn’t that crazy? Turns out what seemed like just a normal gym locker room was actually a sociopolitical war zone, a clandestine battle between perversion and respectability, between homosexuality and heterosexuality, between love and betrayal. Mistaken identities. Missed connections. Comedy. Circle Jerks. High drama!

Sirens

Joellen Sweeney

August 20th - 22nd

7:30pm

A love song beckons us below the surface. A warning throbs along the shore. The Priestess weaves and calls the waves in, one by one by one.  

​SIRENS, a new choral-theatrical work by Joellen Sweeney, evokes the sensuous life and precipitous loss of global coral reef ecosystems. Woven from harmony and memory, SIRENS offers a space to grieve ecological losses and to practice how to love without possessing. 

Yumiko Noriyuki is a multi-medium artist

based in Eugene, Oregon using photography to document both the struggles and the gifts of being multicultural. This project collects many of Noriyuki's favorite black-and-white images, largely shot on 120 and 35mm film—portraits of friends and loved ones, and photographs of places that have left a lasting imprint. With a focus on intimacy and lived experience, the work celebrates community, memory, and belonging. Many of these photos were taken at the Amache Concentration Camp in Colorado where their grandmother, Yumiko was interned for many years of her childhood. 

You can see Yumiko's work before all our residncy performances in July and August.

Glass. Kill. Bluebeard. Imp. is a collection of four short, surreal plays by acclaimed English playwright, Caryl Churchill. Premiering at London's Royal Court Theatre in 2019, these darkly imaginative works weave together myth, fairy tale, and contemporary horror.

Read a review HERE

"a thrilling reminder of why she’s our greatest living playwright. [...] Churchill spans everything from poetry to surrealism to tell four tales that feel both urgent to our current moment and like timeless, amber-cast fairytales."

-Jessie Thompson, The Evening Standard
