This could be the end
Choreographer / Performer Joanna Kotze
Music Ryan Seaton

This rigorous, layered solo investigates vulnerability, power dynamics, physical and architectural boundaries, and the spectrum of humor to violence within Kotze’s own body. Created during the 2016 election year, she relearned it leading up to the 2022 midterms, and now begins performing it in the turmoil of 2026. An ongoing experiment, Kotze and Seaton examine how time and context inevitably create change. Material from This could be the end is part of a new group piece that interrogates the phenomenon of history repeating itself. Commissioned by New York Live Arts, the evening-length work will premiere there this fall, as the culmination of Kotze's 2025–2026 Randjelović/Stryker Resident Commissioned Artist award and residency.

Soft Rules for Moving Sideways (premiere)
Choreographers / Performers Angie Hauser & Chris Aiken
Music Jake Meginsky

These long-time collaborators explore a trio improvisation that seeks to unlock the power and counterpoint of shared resonance and individual actions. The artists consider what it means to tune oneself to be both undetermined and specific, awake to the theater of humans acting creatively.
