Chez Bushwick 2Night Show: Artists in Residence
Leslie Cuyjet: A Salient Theme A Salient Theme aims to document life-long questions of identity, confuse and disrupt conventional narratives, and demonstrate the angsty, explosive, sensitive, pioneering excellence of the black woman.
performed by Leslie Cuyjet with Jessica Pretty
Lorene Bouboushian: extent of explosive lament A somatic process of extricating my cultural conditioning and experience through voice, movement, and being-in-extremis. I confront my whiteness and my Armenian/Lebanese heritage, working class background and elite college education, kale salads and food stamps. I activate my body as an ever-liminal, ever-contentious site: I am the crier of doom and the insulated princess.
Im putting my post-colonial, transnational, low-fat whiteness on sale.
Everything is thrown into relief, via a praxis that collaborates with the entire performance situation, sliding between our meta-political selves.
I seek a destabilizing exhumation of my power, my trauma.

Nora Stephens: Untitled Together Part social experiment and part dance musical, Untitled Together brings four New York strangers together to investigate and create in the wake of the 2016 election. Experimenting within improvisational singing, writing and movement structures we reflect on fears, anxieties and ultimately investigate systems to better communicate, create and move forward collectively and as individuals.

stormy budwig We are making a migration. The performance relies on layers of situations that overlap and contradict; on synchronicities that are staged and unstaged; on togetherness and solitude; on invisible landmarks; on action that oscillates between precarious and bold. Where are they going, and why did they make moves to leave?
