Description
What is a portal?

A crack in the familiar, a doorway into the unforeseen.
A passage that transforms, a shift that cannot be undone.
An opening– unexpected, inevitable.
A crossing into elsewhere, where the known unravels and something new takes shape.
A threshold, a rupture, a call to step beyond.

In this performance project, we will ponder the question of portals: When do they appear? How are they generated? What do they bring us closer to, and farther away from? Together we will wonder and wander through the world of portals: physical, conceptual, digital, mythological, and fantastical.

PORTALS is a collaborative process that blends dance, theater, vocal work, composition, and dramaturgy. Physical scores, improvisational exercises, compositional tasks, and dialogue all intertwine, guiding the work in unexpected directions as each participant’s body, voice, and ideas shape the journey. This approach invites participants into a space of embodied research, where each practice unveils new layers of material to unearth, dissect, and explore– constantly deepening the grooves in the tangled spiral of portals and what they do. As the process unfolds, a performance emerges—part composition, part ongoing discovery. The work itself becomes a portal, rupturing familiar ways of perceiving and opening space for new constellations of movement, sound, and language. What has been unearthed, dissected, and reassembled accumulates into a living, shifting landscape—an imprint of our collective journey. Through regarding our bodies as the source of both questions and answers, PORTALS seeks to explore the mysteries of change.

Introductory workshop: April 25 (5 - 8 pm) and April 26 (12 - 5 pm)
