Thresholds: Art, Science & Neurodiversity

Tix $14 Advance, and $17 at the Door.

An evening of film, performance, and dialogue exploring the diversity of sensory processing through the lenses of art and science. The event will include two short films and a live performance featuring the Twin Cities’ very own Michael Wolfe, who identifies as a “black, queer, performance artist with autism,” offering insight into his daily life and inner world. Neuroscientist Guadalupe Astorga will talk about her research on the neurodiversity of visual perception, and Wolfe & Astorga will both share insights about their unique processes.

Residency at Dancing Grounds for Unstable States [working title] in New Orleans, LA

Thursday, 3/28 from 5:30-7:30pm, Unstable States Residency Public Sharing at Dancing Grounds, 3705 St. Claude Avenue

RSVP to join us!

Our project is to develop, and rehearse Unstable States [working title], the seventh and most ambitious - work in the Desire Motor series. The climate crisis is the most pressing and challenging threat facing our world. It is also the most overwhelming, controversial, and misunderstood. Unstable States is a performance/installation/biomaterial fabrication that investigates our connection to the materials that make up our physical world, their origins, and how they came to be in our personal space. For our residency at Dancing Grounds, we will work on movement & sound creation inspired by interaction & research of natural material origin stories alongside our fabricated and transforming biomaterials.
 
Join us for an informal showing on Thursday, 3/28 from 5:30-7:30pm at Dancing Grounds. Engage in a fun and informative practice of re-imagining Mardi Gra bead necklaces made from an original eggshell biomaterial as we contemplate the use of materials in our daily rituals and communal celebrations. Watch and listen as we transform these practices into sound and movement to open up space to envision new ways of being with material traditions in order to find more sustainable and renewable connections with our environment.
