RECESS

RECESS is a monthly performance series where both works-in-progress and established pieces can be shared in an intimate setting. Innovation. Experimentation. Deep dives. Creative reviews. It’s all welcome here! RECESS is a safe space for exploration and forging new artistic connections. We offer a public program, performance series, network, platform, and ongoing opportunity to engage performers, patrons, artists, and audience members in a night of performance and creative dialogue. RECESS continues to promote and celebrate the work of diverse artists, in solidarity, throughout 2025 and onward.

 
 

CONNOR VOSS

"Struggling to save his tiny national park located on a median strip between roads, a passionate young ranger begins having nightmares about the encroaching automobiles.  What follows is a surreal dive into American environmentalism, the auto industry, and the modern fetishization of cars."

EMMAGRACE SKOVE-EPES: FLUID EXCHANGE

Fluid Exchange calls on sensuous absurdity, tactile curiosity, and slow time as ways into contending with my own dynamic disability and medical mythologies of anatomical “normativity” and “deformity”. Projecting larger than life images of my own body in duet with an anatomical model of a pelvis onto surfaces of a room- floor, ceiling, walls, windows, curtains, mirrors, and vessels of water, this work resituates small and seemingly subtle bodily actions as huge and multiplying. Sensation is cast as its own form of fluid language that simultaneously traces and transforms memories and fantasies of moving, surfaced amidst my own periods of very limited mobility.
