Where do you feel a sense of belonging? The path of our emotional worlds are forged while we walk. Be both the map maker and the traveler. You belong here.
Excessive
Choreographic Score and Performance by Alana Stubbs
This project was inspired by a walk I had with my dog. I was walking around the streets of Boston and saw broken glass, plastic bags, crumpled up face masks, cigarette butts, empty fast-food containers, soggy pants, and a whole pizza crust. The number of objects that were scattered about the sidewalk perplexed me. This one moment then led me down a rabbit hole of thoughts on how much junk litters both our physical environments and our mental spaces. We live in a world that has much more waste than is healthy and people, including myself, suffer from this more than we realize. We all deserve to live in clean environments and have un-muddled thoughts. I hope that this piece will inspire people to clean up junk from both their physical environments and their mental spaces.

Something Up Her Sleeve
Performance and Score by Amy Diane Morrow

Conversation while Dancing by Amy Diane Morrow and Lloyd Weatherspoon
Music by David Quick, Leoncarlo Canlas (Fri) and Boss Street (Sat)
I’d give you the shirt off my back
But I’ve got something up my sleeve
If another one bites the dust
I can’t help you get up
I can’t help you get up
Stop pulling my leg
I can’t help you get up
Can you pull my leg, I'm stuck
When another one’s down
And nothing’s up my sleeve
I know that I know that I know
I know that you’ll stand by me
Hurt Under Pressure
Performance by Denver
Vocals and Guitar by David Quick
Musical arrangment of Hurt by Johnny Cash and Under Pressure by Queen
Life is about the redistribution of energy. We often focus on the deaths of the unhoused. We often forget to celebrate the lifes and those who transition into housing. This is about two sides of the same coin and we have to look at the whole coin. Will you use your voice? There's people in the streets. This is ourselves under pressure.
