WhAM is a new duet by Emily Coates and Emmanuèle Phuon that will incorporate listening and translation structures drawn from Project CETI’s new Whale Acoustic Model (WhAM). The project builds on prior work with scientists and will result in an evening-length performance developed in dialogue with CETI and their cutting-edge research on interspecies communication.

Sara Juli’s Midseason is an evening-length dance-theatre comedy exploring midlife, a time that stretches well past halfway when you're no longer emerging but suspended in the messy abundance of reflection. This solo work centers women in midlife finding agency in a culture that renders aging women invisible. Set to Max Richter's recomposition of Vivaldi's The Four Seasons, this work reimagines these iconic male-created compositions through a middle-aged woman's lens. It reclaims pleasure as resistance, asking what happens when we stop apologizing for our desires, our changing bodies, and our refusal to be quiet or invisible.
