Centered on the question\ , does sound move the body\, or body move sound? – They use sound and ch oreography performance structures to create site-specific work that is gro unded in environmental resonance and exploration. In performance\, they be lieve that sound\, space\, and the presence of both audience and performer are part of an embodied participation in place- one that confronts ideas of presence/absence\, silence/noise\, and the eternal/external experiences of being. Merging their creative backgrounds\, Hannah\, as a dancer\, and Casey\, as a sound maker\, combine their respective forms\, playing in th e liminal space between sound and body. This creative approach has led to performance opportunities that traverse music\, dance\, theater\, and inst allation. Their work has most recently been shown at The University of Vir ginia in Wise\, VA\, The Jettie Baker Theater in Clintwood\, VA\, The Oran ge Light in Victoria\, BC\, and 8East in Vancouver\, BC. Additionally\, th ey have performed in Seattle spaces such as The Good Shepherd Center\, The Cherry Pit\, The Woodland Theater\, Gallery 1412\, 18th and Union as a pa rt of Spring Shot 2024\, and The Shed as part of the 2024 season of Being Mode.\n\nFor this upcoming series of shows\, they will be performing an im provised drum and dance duet.\n\n+\n\nJuliet (jules) Paramor is an experim ental dance and performance artist based in Boston\, MA\, with deep ties t o the Bay Area\, CA\, and the Pacific Northwest. She makes durational\, st ate-based dance performances. She’s interested in how physical tasks and repetition engage the subconscious\, alter perception\, shape emotional a nd physical terrains\, and reveal choreographic vocabularies. Her work is informed by her experience as a sex worker\, lover\, party girl\, and daug hter. She examines individual\, communal\, and cultural dimensions of grie f\, eros\, sensuality\, and the subconscious\, exploring themes of primal belonging\, nostalgia\, femininity\, power\, and how desire and time impac t the body. She draws on 10+ years of study in somatics\, postmodern and r elease technique\, club dance\, contact improvisation\, and is guided by a vast lineage of queer experimental dance artists. Her work has been prese nted by Movement Research at the Judson Church (NYC)\, the School for Cont emporary Dance and Thought (Northampton\, MA)\, CounterPulse\, ROT Festiva l (San Francisco\, CA)\, PLEX Arts Fest (Burlington\, VT)\, and more. In a ddition to making work\, she teaches classes\, produces multi-disciplinary performance parties\, and facilitates contact improvisation jams.\n\nAna Delgado began dancing at age four in San Juan\, Puerto Rico\, inspired by the storytelling of her creative movement teacher. Her early training led her from recreational dance to a ballet conservatory and later to Andanza\ , a contemporary arts school where she began developing her choreographic voice. Delgado went on to earn a BFA in Contemporary Dance from the Boston Conservatory at Berklee\, where she studied Western contemporary forms al ongside West African dance styles that continue to shape her movement lang uage through polyrhythms\, intricate footwork\, and undulations. With this experience\, she started to blend social dances and western dance forms m ade for concert stages to showcase the importance of community in a societ y that prioritizes individuality. She continues this journey as a choreogr apher\, which includes Mujeres\, an exploration of the complexities of sis terhood\; DunDun\, a community-driven work inspired by West African dance created for the Choreography Project Providence\; and Turning Purple\, dev eloped during her Urbanity X Residency and inspired by Jacob Lawrence’s Migration Series\, examining violence and migration affecting communities of color. She is currently developing new work researching intersectionali ty and belonging within the cultural landscape of the United States.\nanag delgadocruz2@gmail.com | Anananas_p.r (Instagram and Facebook)\n\nThis is Juliet and Ana’s first time making and performing together. In this new work by Juliet\, the two share a duet from an expansive\, wandering impro visational process. They’ve been thinking about the pulsation of the hea rt\, tidal tendencies\, and tethers. The piece is set and unset\, shaped b y relational attention\, space\, duration\, and rhythm.\n\n+\n\nMiranda an d Krista Lawson are a sister duet with extensive training across contempor ary and street dance techniques. Each has been deeply influential in shapi ng the other’s individual artistic practice\, creating a foundation of t rust\, curiosity\, and shared rigor. Their collaborative work grows from b oth their overlapping knowledge and the discoveries they bring back to eac h other from their separate dance journeys. Together\, they explore how co ntemporary and street forms meet\, inform\, challenge\, and transform one another.\n\nshould’ve been a cowboy is an in-progress dance work that ce lebrates and reclaims the deep roots of Black contribution to country musi c while questioning how and why cultural spaces come to center whiteness d espite being built from Black artistic innovation. Using movement\, props\ , theatrical play\, and intentional silliness\, the choreography balances celebration with critique\, inviting audiences into reflection through hum or as much as rigor. The movement vocabulary lives in a hybrid space betwe en contemporary dance and house dance\, emerging as a third\, in-between l anguage that reflects cultural blending\, resistance\, and reinvention.\n\ n+\n\nSteffanie Paul is an experimental musician\, a scientist\, an immigr ant\, and a transsexual who aspires to communicate the intricacies of her multifaceted experience of the world through ambient soundscapes and intim ate spoken word.\nHer new work seeks to create a communal sonic space for grief\, inspiration\, and for the felt embodiment of history.\n\n+\n\nThis performance is made possible in part by the Grants for Creative Individua ls from the Mass Cultural Council.
