EVERYTHING: an evening of free improvisation with ten dancers and musicians.

These seasoned improvisers will be grouped in ensembles they've never played in before. They'll perform without predetermined scores, compose in the moment, and develop their performance material from everything they know and do not know.

Fatima Adamu is an occupational therapist, dancer, and yoga teacher, grew up in Nigeria, West Africa, and was passionate about movement, fitness and emotional wellbeing from a young age.

Nicole Bindler's recent projects include curating an evening of Palestinian dance films; somatic research on the embryology of the genitalia from a non-binary perspective; a workshop on neuroqueering embodiment; and a solo dance, The Case for Invagination, in which her scars speak candidly about trauma and desire.

David Dove is a trombone player, improviser, composer, organizer, and workshop facilitator from Houston, TX.

Meghan Frederick is a choreographer, educator, improviser, and mother who explores devotion in/through these practices.

Jesse Kudler is a musician, composer, performer, and sound artist, playing guitar tonight, whose work is based in listening, improvisation, and collaboration (with people, devices, sites, and spaces) to explore ambiguous affects, perception, time, authorship, intention, agency, and modes and practices of listening.

Ella-Gabriel Mason is a dancer and improvisor who loves dancing and improvising, except for when they hate dancing and improvising.

Julius Masri likes making lots of noise, preferably fast and loud.

Bhob Rainey works with sound, both acoustically and electronically. He, like a lot of people, is interested in quite a few things, but he is especially invested in matters relating to consciousness - its possibilities, limitations, absurdities, threats and futures - how to "think" climate change, how to "think" the nonhuman stuff that makes us.

Kate Seethaler (she/they) currently lives at the intersection of parenthood and dance/somatic practices, attempting to instill joy, empathy and tenderness into her kiddos through movement—and ample silliness.

Sheila Zagar's dance practice is a safe space to live dangerously; her thoughts, feelings are revealed, her imagination soars. Dancing with others is one of the most intimate, revelatory and joyous experiences of her life.

Come early to see The American Tapestry Project, Studio 34’s current art exhibit in our hallway gallery.
