Lopez & Dancers 

rage/LIFT ME UP

Anna Lopez is a dance artist from New York City, and the choreographer of the work rage/LIFT ME UP performed by Lopez & Dancers. Choreographically, Anna has presented several works throughout her college career. rage/LIFT ME UP premiered at the Center for the Arts at George Mason University in the fall of 2023. The work explores the human experience of anger, and how once we fully step into it, it can be empowering and exhausting at the same time. “Rage, maybe rage would lift me up, make me stand, make me walk”- a quote from Marlon James heavily inspired this work. Earning her BFA in Dance from George Mason University in May of 2024, Anna has just begun her journey as an artist, and is excited for what is in store. Anna wants to give a heartfelt thank you to the incredible, electric artists that helped bring rage/LIFT ME UP to life!

Elizabeth Shea Dance

Sentient Beings

Elizabeth Shea Dance is a chamber ensemble who seek new ways to tell human stories. The company has performed across the US and abroad, most recently at the X Theatre in Adelaide, Australia, the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C., and the Ailey Citigroup Theater in NYC. Working extensively in new media and film, the ensemble collaborated with lighting designer Allen Hahn for the Breath|Light|Stone, which has been screened as an official selection at international film festivals across the globe, and won several awards, including Best Dance Film, Best Choreography for the Lens, and Best Ensemble. The company’s latest work, Sentient Beings, is both a reimagining of the role of the fairies in Shakespeare’s A MidsummerNight’s Dream, and a deep dive into the realm of consciousness. Embodying sentience encourages an inclusive understanding of the human condition, and bereft of narrative, a sense of otherness, even loneliness, emerges.

Mark Bankin Dance Theater 

Nocturne No. 13

Mark Bankin directs a repertory ensemble of movement notators that work with archives and dance diagrams to create rigorous formal structures of hyper-specific, highly-technical choreographies. His dance dramas concerned with death anxiety, memory loss, silence, and interiority propose a dramaturgy that resists the supremacy of speech.

Together with the ensemble he resurrects extinct dances, archives endangered intangible cultural heritage, and teaches dance in psychiatric hospitals. This choreography is a work-in-progress excerpt of an evening-length work based on David Lang’s "The Writings." It is scheduled to premiere September 2024, accompanied by a 12-person choir in an abandoned church. Follow us @mark.bankin

Kimono

OR Dance is a project based dance company under the direction of Olga Rabetskaya. Olga Rabetskaya (she/her) is U.S. based artist originally from Belarus. She is a dancer, choreographer, director and photographer whose work spans film, choreography and photography, multimedia production. Olga’s artistic research and exploration focus on the deep knowledge of the body and how to share our emotional experience, memories, and body intelligence through movement.
“Kimono” is a parable-like story of three humans, on separate yet interconnected journeys. Each being confronts their place in society with their Kimono serving as a material symbol of both their inner truths but also their protective shields. One will bare all, one needs help to shed her layer, and one decides to carry her Kimono.
