Red Eye Theater

Closing out her time as Red Eye's OMNIVERS Artist in Residence, Marcela Michelle continues her transdisciplinary research into concepts of Pointillism, Parallax, and Phenomenology as applied to Dance and Performance. A multidisciplinary team of artists assembled and led by Michelle will be engaging in simultaneous creation, available to each other's processes and choreographies. The experiment of simultaneous creation, including technical and design elements as leading efforts on the same plane as text and choreography, sits alongside the experiment of choreographing choreographers. Supported by Red Eye Theatre and Bridge Fund for Dance.

The first to say yes to trying something new. Part of what this place is made of.

— a triptych of movement experiments spanning before, during, and after the global pandemic. Drawing on double dutch as life skill training, Afro Futurist aspiration, and the hard-won wisdom of collective fallow, Oliver's work asks what we have summoned through difficulty — and what we owe ourselves as we return to moving, remembering, and recovering for a world anew. Cynthia has deep ties to this region, and her arrival here is a return as much as a debut.
