12 Festival Performances & Multimedia Experiences: If you’re from out of town, consider scheduling a later flight on February 2 to catch our Dune Wars Kiki Ball, co-presented with Van Vogue Jam.
Talks and Discussions: Topics include Indigenous futures; curating live art: crosscurrents of thinking on identity; solidarity practices; decolonizing in organizational practice; expansive approaches to dramaturgy; navigating the big divides — understanding our role in divisive times; and theatre as an anteroom to social action.
Artist Walks and Studio Visits.
Curated Pitch Session: Featuring local, national, and international projects.
