“What power do we bestow when we ask, How do I look? What happens when we turn toward—or away—from one another? What dynamics do we invite, defer, or resist? And what joy becomes possible when we reach out, hold hands, and step into rhythm together?”

Fauxnique: How Do I Look?
How Do I Look? - the most vain, mundane and loaded question. Fauxnique, the drag queen guise of multi-faceted artist Monique Jenkinson, wields precise physicality, irreverent humor, and gutsy vulnerability into a hot mess of perception, subjectivity, identity, and taste.

Mariana Valencia: Jacklean (Jacklean)
Savor the thrill of the unexpected in Jacklean (Jacklean). Governed by play and collaborative improvisation, New York powerhouse choreographer and dancer Mariana Valencia’s improvised gestures are prompted by transmissions from Jazmin Romero’s vocal and instrumental repertoire of cumbia, punk, jazz, and electronic music. Can an everlasting process frame a final performance?
