Katherine Bahena- Benitez 
JOTA 
JOTA, meaning gay, is a word of empowerment meant to liberate those of the guilt in being raised in the Catholic Church.

Madison Hicks 
Accumulating Moments 
Accumulating Moments is a duet that explores the journey two artists go on to accumulate small memories as they age through life.

Isaiah Newby
Simulation
Within the bounds of our “reality,” how do we break out of the “simulation,”  the world we function in? Is it by drawing back our layers and shedding our forward-facing selves? Onstage, we seek to uncover and understand what it’s like to live and break out of the simulation.

Stephanie Shin 
On the subject of bananas 
On the subject of bananas explores the weight and absurdity of the word “banana,” a pejorative term used to describe Asian Americans – yellow on the outside, white on the inside.

Nattie Trogdon + Hollis Bartlett 
Fallacies’ 
Fallacies’ is a movement work of reference that culls known dances from pop culture and bodily memory to live in the space between replication and translation.

Full program coming soon.
