LAVA’s latest work, Feminist Forest Training Grounds, maps an enchanted forest of physical training for a feminist future, incorporating acrobatics as a metaphor for personal strength, balance, and community support. See video of LAVA here.

In Make-a-dance, Clarinda Mac Low and Carolyn Hall create a participatory algorithm for dancemaking. They supply the parts, the audience supplies the sequence and timing, and the resulting dance surprises everybody.

Yasuko Yokoshi entwines cultures and personal insights to create radical performance works. Yokoshi will perform BELL Solo Unplugged, a solo version of her highly acclaimed 2013 work BELL, a contemporary reimagining of the classical Japanese dance Kyoganoko Musume Dojyoji (A Maiden and a Bell at the Dojgoji Temple).

RECESS: the Ritual Experience Concept Event Spa Show is a site-responsive installation and situation for performance, offering a restorative and contemplative time away from the outside world. This special edition of the Dance of Light ceremonial hour is centered upon a minimalist serpentine dance, a live sculpture where mind and body meet in a feat of mutual concentration, seeking to help sharpen and re-enchant our centers of perception.
Performances every evening through Saturday, June 11th, plus special events!
Louise Moyes and the Daly Collective present an excerpt from If A Place Could Be Made in FREE performances on Thursday, June 9th and Friday, June 10th at 8 PM. This work weaves personal tales of inclusion into a journey of friendship and song. Louise Moyes and Diana Daly, together with director-collaborator Anne Troake, bring family memories to life through powerful images, dance, stories, laughter, and a bit of Carlton Showband!

“Performance Mix is such a great resource, and I was really grateful to be supported in presenting two of my works this year! I think the real multiplicity of artists involved in all senses is a continued strength of the program.”
