Michal Samama: Mike Sabbaba
Mike Sabbaba likes sitting on his ass. He doesn't care what you think. Hey, It's a full life. Soccer. on TV. a video game (boom boom), MOM !! get me a coke, Hallooooooooooooo. Every phone is a red phone. How does a man go? Watching as his manhood grows, like a stock. Man and his sock. Frankly, he’s an idiot, in a way, he is me.
The Movement Farm: (Mis)Fortune
In (Mis)Fortune, The Movement Farm seeks to explore the co-existence of (and tension between) beauty and social disparity. We aim to question the complicated relationship between privilege and art without oversimplifying the issue. Audience participation encourages the audience to investigate with us, rather than absorb an externally imposed message.
5:00 – 6:30 PM
Creature Theater: Grendel's Mom Has Got It Going On
Before the fights, before the murders, there was a woman. A woman who lived at the bottom of the sea and gave birth to monsters. See her now, on the precipice of a life-altering confrontation. A world-premiere burgeoning exploration of burlesque grotesque.
Adam H. Weinert: Canary and The Coalmine
Canary and The Coalmine is a multi-media collaboration featuring original work by Video, Dance, Music, Photography and Costume Artists. Inspired by the neighborhood in which it was created, this short video represents a part of a series of work exploring invention and palimpsest in one of New York's most quickly changing areas.

Dancer: Naomi Reid-Davis
Music: Roarke Menzies

HoverBound: Ombre
A solo dance piece. There will be a drop cloth in front of the performer, so that when the video projection is happening we will not see "her". Once the video stops, then the performer, who is back-lit, will be seen only as a silhouette. So, during the piece there will be music, video and live dance that will all interface in 2 minute intervals.
7:10 – 9:00 PM
Yvonne Ng, Juan Michael Porter II, Meiko Mitsuda, Yasuhiko Fukuoka: Beneath It All
A project about judgementalism in our society on a daily basis. This is a show that consist of a dance performance by Juan Michael Porter II and a film which Juan and I worked on that consist of 70,000 images. The music is composed by Yasuhiko Fukuoka and piano by Meiko Mitsuda.

Launch Movement Experiment: happy machines
An improvisation performed by dancers Rachel Mckinstry and Liz Riga (launchmovementexperiment.com), and industrial musician, Fade Kainer (inswarmmusic.com). The work examines the spontaneity and the possibilities of improvised performance. As the studying progresses, the results of the process continue to lead to the notions of exposure, curtains, clothing, skin, flashlights, and identity.
