Co-curators Cathy Weis and Martita Abril present an evening of performances by IV Castellanos, Emma Judkins and Nami Yamamoto.

IV Castellanos will perform an excerpt from their ongoing work Leche Hervida.

Currently titled At Matins or Evensong, this nascent work references Judkins' interest in time, reverence, darkness, and beauty. Solo material shared will be part of a performance intended to be presented outdoors, at the golden twilight fold of the day.

Yamamoto will present Mu-chan (working title / work in progress.) This piece is the third exploration of mother/daughter piece. Yamamoto is interested in creating a movement landscape that could imply passing time and a generational history within individual stories. The piece is directed and choreographed by Yamamoto in collaboration with the performer, Mutsuyo Omatsu Isaacs.
