Alembic Artists in Performance

Sunday at 4pm
_{*Thursday is a ticketed dress rehearsal/preview and has a cheaper ticket option!
ASL Interpretation provided Saturday, November 7}

This evening brings together three distinct explorations of movement, sound, and relationship: Claire Barrera and pianist Rory Cowal investigate the impulses between stillness and movement, silence and sound; Melody Erfani’s Queen Lear reimagines Shakespeare’s aging king as a mother confronting the changing dynamics of care, power, and family; and Jae Seung Hancock draws on the colors, textures, and rhythms of the natural world to explore origin, memory, and cultural identity.

The Alembic Residency: Three local artists are awarded 100-150 hours of studio time to be used within a 9-11 month period, plus an artist fee, and a production of new or in-progress work in a shared program at the conclusion of their residency.

Made possible in part by The Regional Arts & Culture Council.
