Sundays on Broadway and co-curators Jade Manns & Weis present an evening of performances by Deborah Hay, Scott Heron, Paul J. Botelho and Cherrie Yu.

Deborah Hay will present a 15-minute dance titled fifteen minutes kinda.

Scott Heron will perform excerpts from a new solo work-in-progress.

Paul J. Botelho will perform an improvised vocal response to a constructed environment composed of multi-level sound transformations of an acoustic space.
