This is a split bill dance + movement performance, featuring choreography by Krista Jansen and Gesture Theater. Rakhel Shapiro is performing in Krista Jansen’s work.

Krista Jansen plays with a dance that floats and curls around a seesaw. As Nina Simone musically sets up a structure and then absolutely tears it down to play all over it, and buttoned shirts multiply, Annie Wang has described “Seeing a person wholly realized through movement, revealed in the whirlwind.”

Gesture Theater presents a dance-theater-clown piece complete with masks, linguistics, and big suits. In a testament to queer futurity, we “admit that … ‘transsexual is not identity but desire is to admit just how much of transition takes place in the waiting room of wanting things.” (Andrea Long Chu).

In the words of the artists:

We're doing a show and I think it's a good one. It features Nina Simone musically setting up a structure and then absolutely tearing it down to play all over it. There's dancing on a seesaw.

Gesture Theater will delight audiences of all sorts with clowns, big suits, masks, and bright red yarn. Come see our queer circus!

We'd really like to share it all with you- October 5th, at 4:30pm AND 6:30pm!

The wonderful Chanda Cragnotti, Emma Lee, Isha Racho, Amelia Dawe Sanders, Rakhel Shapiro, Campbell Ives, Erika Michelle Davis, Theo Duclo, Lulu Munteanu, Lou Sydel and Krista Jansen.
