Music: "I Didn’t Know That" & "IDKT" by The Books Dancers: Lindsey Scouten & Haley Tarling |
Choreographer’s Note:
Exploring the world of sight. Eye C U is a quirky duet that dabbles in self expression, self doubt, and perfection. Open up your senses and see if what you hear is really what you see. |
Choreography: Haley Tarling
Music: “Giant Leap” by Frans Bak, “Dismantle Piece” by Origamibiro, “Wait for Me” by Luca D’Alberto Dancers: Brittany Latta, Kyra Laster, Devon Lloyd, Lindsey Scouten & Megan Wolter |
Choreographer’s Note:
This piece explores the process of empathy building, and relates to human stories as the building blocks of connection. In a way, individual experiences can be as unique as the fingerprints on our hands; each is one small building block in the larger scope of a collective story. “Your stories are like fingerprints; they are unique to you. Only you can tell them.’ Sarah Austin Jenness |

Music: “Stuck in the Middle With You” Stealers Wheel Dancer: Lauren Janney |
Choreographer’s Note:
These past few years have been full of celebration which has included sending lots of mail out for directors Brittany and Devon. From wedding Save the Dates, to invites, to thank you cards, the two have been busy…well licking and sealing enveloped. Lickity Stick is a tribute to our trials and tribulations in a not-so-effective way to seal an envelope. |

Music: “Partita: III. Courante” by Roomful of Teeth, “And So” by Caroline Shaw & Attacca Quartet Dancers: Lauren Janney, Kyra Laster, Lindsey Scouten & Haley Tarling |
Choreographer’s Note:
HEARt is ultimately about time and love. It uses the sense of hearing to focus on the sounds we cherish most throughout our lifetime, how those sounds may change and what that change means. We grow so accustomed to hearing the sounds we depend on most that they lose value and beauty. It’s important to stop and appreciate the sounds and their place in our lives the sound of play, of a bell, of a heartbeat. One day, for whatever reason, these sounds will no longer be heard; the sound of play, of a bell, of a heartbeat. |

Music: “Teeth, My Body and Choir” by Perfume Genius Dancers: Lauren Janny, Kyra Laster & Brittany Latta |
Choreographer’s Note:
What’s That Smell? is a whimsical and playful work that starts out as dancers doing their staged piece. As they dance, they begin to realize someone smells horrible and they cannot quite figure out who the stench is coming from. |

Music: “New Jack Bounce (Interlude)” by Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah, “To Drown in You” and “Shock and Awe” by GoGo Penguin, “Litany Against Fear” by Christian Scott Dancers: Lauren Janny, Arden Lapin, Brittany Latta, Kyra Laster, Devon LLoyd, Lindsey Scouten, Haley Tarling & Megan Wolter |
Choreographer’s Note:
An Introspection of grief, unrequited connections, and the unanswered. Relinquishing oneself to the process of healing and acceptance of what we cannot change. |
