From Artistic Director, Sabrina Hamilton

This summer we’ve got 5 weeks of performances curated on the theme of “HABITAT (human).” We’re thinking about transplants, displaced persons & the effects of sudden habitat change. About endangered & vanished cultures. About cracking open the past by re-examining the habitat one grew up in. Entertaining & thought-provoking, it’s all original work – created by the artists who come to us from across the US.
And if you want to get your own creative juices flowing — we’ve got 3 exciting 6-day workshops. (Housing available.)
