The choreography captures the lyrics/story of a hopeful romance that takes a turn for the worse. There is a cheeky juxtaposition between the joyful dancing and the tragic story (just as the singer juxtaposes her happy tone with the plot). Natalie Green is an experimental performer working across movement, sound, and print. Trained in both cognitive neuroscience and dance, she treats the body as a site of inquiry — studying what she feels and senses as carefully as any other subject. Her most recent work, VOCALIZED MOVEMENT: embodied inquiry, combined a neuroscience study on vocally cued gesture with a live soundscape processing her voice through a synthesizer and improvised movement. She is a jazz vocalist mentored by Grammy-nominated blues artist Candice Ivory.This new work, branching from VOCALIZED MOVEMENT: embodied inquiry, begins with Duke Ellington's 'Solitude' sung live as I dance. I will progressively layer and glitch my singing until the melody dissolves into fragmented sound.BodyStories: Teresa Fellion Dance is a contemporary dance company of womxn and non-binary individuals that captures and communicates universal human encounters through dynamic, purposeful movement. We are a multifaceted, highly physical company laced with provocative, emotional, political, and humorous edges. BodyStories has shown work at Baryshnikov Arts Center, Jacob’s Pillow, The Public Theater, Danspace Project at St. Mark’s Church in-the-Bowery, University of Florida, ENTPE University (Lyon, France), NYU, Jazz at Lincoln Center, Ailey Citigroup Theater, Bryant Park Summer Stage, BDF Edinburgh at EICC, Agnes Varis Performing Arts Center at Gibney Dance Center, NY City Center, Dixon Place, UME, ICA Boston, 92nd St. Y, Franco-American Cultural Center, CPR-Center for Performance Research, 14th St. Y, Merce Cunningham Theatre, MMAC, Ashawagh Hall, Triskelion Arts, GAP, Green Space, NYC Dance Parade Festival, KoDaFe NYC Art Festival, NY City Center Pentacle APAP Showcase, La Luna, NYC Dance Parade, Jefferson Historical Society, HERE Sublet Series: Co-op, SPARK Theater Festival, SUNY Old Westbury, International Human Rights Festival, and in concerts with Phish, among others. https://bodystoriesfellion.org/ Mantises Are Flipping W.3 explores duality through movement. The work begins as an interactive journey through an imaginative world of movement and sound, where the audience can cultivate new discoveries in the nature of opposites and intricately changing psychological states. This interaction leads into the dancers’ internal journeys amongst private moments of isolation, small group interactions, and envelopment into the whole. Euphoria, excitement, focus, frustration, and persistence are communicated through highly physical to vaguely indicated partnerships, and juxtaposition of rhythm, harmony, and dissonance.Bruno Serravalle da Silva is an internationally recognized dancer, choreographer, and master teacher whose work is rooted in the living traditions of Salvador da Bahia — Axé, Samba Reggae, Swing Baiano, and Afro Beats — woven through with the contemporary and modern movement vocabulary he has built across a career Spanning four continents. Born and raised in the cultural heartbeat of Black Brazil, he trained formally at FUNCEB and the Universidade Federal da Bahia. In Brazil, he collaborated with iconic artists including Daniela Mercury, Virginia Rodrigues, and Araketu. He worked in other cities across the globe, including London, Vienna, Germany, Switzerland, Tunisia, Palestine, and New York.

My process includes working with a vocal coach for practicing vocal range and an oral historian for transcribing the audio tapes.Mia Generoso is a dance artist and recent graduate of Columbia University, where she studied Dance and English. She trained at Norwalk Metropolitan Youth Ballet in Norwalk, Connecticut, and has performed works by Tiffany Mangulabnan, Kevin Jenkins, Lisa Boudreau/Merce Cunningham, Maguette Camara, and Loretta Thomas/Isadora Duncan. Her choreographic works include Right Now (2023) and Kempe (2025), created for CoLab Performing Arts Collective. Most recently, she presented her senior thesis solo, Mia Generoso, 2nd grade – 16th grade, under the mentorship of Caroline Dahm. Through dance-theater and multimedia performance, Mia explores autobiographical self-making, generational trauma, and the communicability of memory.“Barbara Justine” is a solo dance theater piece and a portrait of my long-dead grandmother. I contend with the violence that haunted my grandmother’s life while also imagining her as more than a tragic 1980s woman. One line of questioning I have in creating this work is: how can I convey my grandmother as a character and a real woman at once? The piece at large is rooted in questions about memory, grief, and identity—none of which are linear, static, or predictable. Marija Obradović is a choreographer, dancer, and dance teacher based in New York City. Rooted in dance theater and contemporary dance, her work explores the body as an archive of stories — exposing and communicating deep layers of human experience. She is best known for her long-standing role as a performer in the critically acclaimed immersive theater production Sleep No More by Punchdrunk, where she played Lady Macbeth for over three years. She has also collaborated and performed with Vim Vigor Dance. Other performance credits include Maxine Doyle, Michael Getman, Kizuna Dance, and Perpetuum Dance. Her extensive teaching experience focuses on floorwork, soft acrobatics, and choreography. Her debut choreographic piece was awarded at the XXIV Festival of Choreographic Miniatures in Belgrade, marking the beginning of a voice that is honest and risk-taking. https://marija-obradovic.com/about/ My aim is to share a story about a woman who’s at the start of a creative journey, but she’s overwhelmed, overthinking, and in self-doubt. She wants to be a writer, but she’s terrified of the blank, empty paper. As her journey unravels, we see the beauty in both her ambition and her escapisms, distractions. Will she begin, and how?Extensions Dance Project was founded in 2022 by Artistic Director Kaitlyn Esposito. The Full Company of 35 dancers develops two shows each year featuring new choreography across dance styles, while hosting open classes for the local adult dance community. Performing Company members also take part in outside opportunities in New Jersey, New York City, Philadelphia, Boston and beyond, including Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2024 in Scotland. www.extensionsdanceproject.com Our piece is inspired by the composition of the song "Rain-Version for Piano Trio" by Ryuichi Sakamoto, Jaques Morelenbaum, and David Nadien. Of the trio of musicians, there are two main parts that stick out to us - the violin and the piano. We will experiment with playing the roles of being each instrument, "playing" separately and together. DanceAction is a contemporary dance company based in New York, led by Argentinian dance artist Carmen Caceres.
