Ingrid Kapteyn

Haunting vocals. Drop-dead lewks. Stand-up mics. Otherworldly dimensions. Life-and-death stakes. A detective on a case…at review-of-life pace. Tony and Ingrid tumble through spacetime, searching for themselves in each other. A meditation on grief, consciousness, and the fluidity of self, Chalk Outline Portal unfolds as a raucous romp through surrealities that coexist and collapse in real time. Tickets On Sale Now!

Ithaca! Today kicks off this week’s residency with the wonderful @ingridmkapteyn . Please join us this evening for 𝑯𝒐𝒎𝒆𝑩𝒐𝒅𝒚: 𝑰’𝒎 𝑺𝒕𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝑯𝒆𝒓𝒆, a performance-lecture about 𝑻𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒔𝒈𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑩𝒐𝒓𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝑫𝒊𝒔𝒄𝒊𝒑𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑫𝒚𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒑𝒊𝒂𝒏 𝑾𝒐𝒓𝒍𝒅-𝑩𝒖𝒊𝒍𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒊𝒏 𝑷𝒆𝒓𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆 taking place from 5:00pm to 6:00pm at the Schwartz Center for the Performing Arts, SB10 Theatre. 𝑯𝒐𝒎𝒆𝑩𝒐𝒅𝒚 moves through episodes in 𝑰𝒏𝒈𝒓𝒊𝒅 𝑲𝒂𝒑𝒕𝒆𝒚𝒏’s career as an international performer and creator in dance-theater, honoring the body as refuge—a site for grounding, connection, and direction amid the onslaught of contemporary life. As an international freelance performer whose work has taken her from Off-Broadway stages in New York City to the five-floor hotel housing the hit immersive production Sleep No More in Shanghai, Ingrid approaches movement—body language—as a profoundly universal and unifying means of communication. Drawing from her dance-theater company’s dystopian world-building, her ancestral research in collaboration with Assistant Professor of the Practice Danielle Russo, and the somatic principles that ground her physical practice, she frames bodily awareness as a pathway to accessing memory, inscribed history, and future possibility. This event is part of 𝑫𝑨𝑵𝑪𝑰𝑵𝑮 𝑯𝑶𝑴𝑬/𝑳𝑨𝑵𝑫, a yearlong series of live performances and activations, guest artist residencies and symposia, and extra/curricular experiences that engages dance and performance artists, students, and communities in dialogue around memory, migration, and place—and where fantasy can serve as a site for reworlding belonging and futurity. In collaboration with PMA Senior Lecturer Theo Black. Photo and video of @welcome.to.campfire with @tonybordonaro3 by @nirarieli

Hi everybody! So, we’re ready to birth this baby. We’ve been pouring all of ourselves into the creative process for about a year now like it’s a matter of life and death. Ha. For us, maybe it is. This is how we process, how we filter, how we express - how we honor our audiences’ time and the times we’re living in. Our new duet is a meditation on grief, consciousness, and the fluidity of self, and it is simultaneously a raucous romp through spacetime. With pre-production wrapping up, we are moving into production mode. To take the final steps to the premiere, we need your help. If you believe in dance theater, if you believe in live experience, if you believe in making something out of nothing against all odds, please consider chipping in. WE CAN’T WAIT TO PERFORM FOR YOU.

𝗣𝗥𝗘𝗟𝗨𝗗𝗘 is an intimate evening of new solo & duet dances choreographed by 𝗗𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲 𝗥𝘂𝘀𝘀𝗼 • featuring 𝗥𝗼𝘆𝗮 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘀 𝗙𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗵𝘁𝗲𝗵𝗻𝗲𝗷𝗮𝗱, 𝗜𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗶𝗱 𝗞𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗲𝘆𝗻, 𝗞𝗮𝘆𝗹𝗮 𝗙𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗵 & 𝗝𝗶𝗲-𝗛𝘂𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗲 𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗮𝘂 • to be performed at @jackartsny on Wed Dec 17 between 7:00–10:00 p.m. The program will take shape as an open installation in the round; you are welcome to enter and witness the work at will. The solos—each approximately 20–25 minutes—will unfold sequentially, connected by a series of interstitial duets lasting around 10 minutes each. The dances—at once propulsive and finely detailed—draw on its performers’ genealogies, the work of Olga Fröbe-Kapteyn, and the idea of ancestral memory to sculpt an archive of iconographies collaging poetics, myths, gestures, and sensations based on the experience of Womxn.  𝗣𝗥𝗘𝗟𝗨𝗗𝗘 is the first formal showcase of material to be included in a larger installation imagined for Fall 2026. This phase of the work is inspired by creative research supported through the New York State Choreographers Initiative (with @nysdanceforce and @nyscouncilonthearts ), under the mentorship of @alexandrawells.dance , as well as residencies at @kaatsbaan and @yaddotoday . Entry is free, but donations of $15-$20 are appreciated. Reservations are recommended at link in bio. • Photographs by @alexanderdiaz_ata , @fabiomore.film & Max Thomsen

Something’s opening… This #givingseason , we’re thrilled to share a quiet hint: after more than eight months of development, our newest dystopian danceplay is preparing to premiere in early 2026. These #BTS rehearsal shots by the one and only @stephaniecrousillatphotography are an early portal into a world where spacetime bends, identities blur, and endings and beginnings share the same breath. As a small not-for-profit arts org, Welcome to Campfire grows because of a community of donors who believe in daring embodied storytelling. If our work has moved you, today is a powerful day to support it.
