Presented by KAREN PETERSON AND DANCERS
Untold Stories combines choreography by Karen Peterson and visuals by media artist Dinorah de Jesús Rodríguez to delve into the multiplicity of ways we experience the most intimate and secretive parts of our lives as human beings.

UNDER MOMENTUM
Presented by KINETIC LIGHT
Under Momentum by Kinetic Light celebrates the joy of being in continuous motion, the allure of speed, and the beautiful futility of resisting gravity. Performed on and around a set of exquisitely engineered ramps, this program of solos and duets ranges through explorations of balance, stillness, and falls as Kinetic Light’s disabled dancers release into the forces of acceleration, gravity, and torque. Choreography by Alice Shephard in collaboration with dancer Laurel Lawson. www.kineticlight.org
