Fall(se) Cirque(us) — a work in progress
Isak Enquist

At its core, Fall(se) Cirque(us) celebrates the strength, skill, and craftsmanship of the working class. Dancers clad in heavy-duty work pants perform highly physical, unison movements that challenge the boundaries between physical labor and virtuosic performance. Alternating between "Work" and "Rest", this cyclical structure embodies the rhythm of labor, highlighting the tension between effort and exhaustion.​

Choreography: Isak Enquist 
Performers: Tyler Layton Olson, James-Amzin Naharick, Mia Pelayo, Kaia Shukin, Alex X
Rehearsal Direction: Kate Franklin 
Sound Design: created in collaboration with artists 

nearsphere
Erika Mitsuhashi 

Moving backwards, reversal and the paradoxical understanding that being future-bound is, in itself, a forward motion, nearsphere emerged as a leaky daydream of Erika’s tender existentialism. Accepting paradoxes as openings – openings for movement, spatiality and inevitably, memory, to rush in. Through Erika’s dancing and live sound by Elisa, they honor gaps in understanding, moments of unknowing and daydreaming as spaces for movement and sound to enter – mutual vanishings. Marked by the soft tension of the unknowable, join us in the substances of this warm, velvety void. What happens next, to next?
