there’s a pressure point, a soft landing on the back of the skull where they say ghosts can enter and exit, so I pressed into it firmly, hoping to release something I cannot prove, cannot taste, cannot see captured by the magnificent @samsanroman

Announcing our May Artist-in-Residence TORRESTIAL @torrestial ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ Torrestial is a NYC based movement artist, producer and performer engaging with the unconscious shadow through the lens of erotic horror. Inspired by experimental underground music and performance, her personal works are confrontational, exploring the explicit nature of rage, desire, shame and power dynamics. Torrestial blends visual storytelling influenced by burlesque, kink and drag through hardcore sound and high-impact movement. Each of Torrestial’s works embody the complexity and intensity of human impulse and pleasure in a sometimes unhuman form. Collaborations and performances with musical artists include Mitski, King Woman and Machine Girl. ⭐️ Stay tuned for updates on Torrestial’s residency ⭐️

🌀Open Movement DOUBLE FEATURE 🌀 effort embodiment, eternal research with Madison Wada (@____homesick____4 ): An exploration of habits that write our characteristics of self and how to become fluent in our own physical language. With extreme physicality we learn to push our own boundaries, to be left in our most pure state. The eternal research of our human form. 🖤Sunday, March 1, 2026 | 4pm 🖤 WIP FEEDBACK FRONT (**rescheduled due to extreme weather) with Ime Soul & Torrestial: @sazonpackets ’s WIP: “Scripts we Learn and Lines we Misremember” The banality of evil is when hardship meets protocol. Loosely borrowing movement forms from Black American stepping, Baptist praise and worship, and South African gumboot dancing, as well as, text from pop songs and push notifications, Ime Soul moves through financial negotiations with their credit union. @torrestial ’s WIP: This solo observes a protection ritual. Torrestial learns how to fight, partaking in combat with self-imposed limitations and societal expectations through shadow boxing. Through high-impact dancing with heels, she will integrate sharp movement and slow control between bursts of antagonizing her imaginary opponent. This blatant denial follows the many-layered expressions of grief which will be examined further. She is not in control. Stamina, repetition, strain and exhaustion serve as the vehicle for rage in complete disorganization. 🖤Sunday, March 1, 2026 | 7pm 🖤 – 📌FREE RSVP at the link in our bio! 🖤Organized and curated by @fluct_monica
