I wanted to concentrate on a thematic thread that not only brought us together as a creative team, but the audience as well. Gender is the common thread between Too Far Again, Not Far Enough... (part one) and Agile (part two). Gender is something every “body” has. I am intrigued by the things we see in other human bodies and I was interested in placing two works side by side that offer very different perspectives on the question of gendered bodies. We aimed to create an evening which questions how we perceive other people through gender and sexuality. Thank you to all the creative contributors and especially the dancers - you have my heart.

Metals are forged and precious stones and objects cradled to reveal an innate imperfect beauty. Animal fibers and leathers are bound and sculpted by hand offering contrasts in structure and texture. Ruby and Prankstar explore the dark rawness of nature, the duality of its structural elements and cycles of transformation. www.rubyandprankstar.com | www.facebook.com/RubyPrankstar | instagram.com/rubyandprankstar DANIEL BARBER Lighting, Staging and Technical Production Daniel’s interest in lighting sparked at age 12 with his high school’s performance of Pendragon.
