LOCULUS is the ongoing collaboration between Olana Flynn and Madison Palffy. Their work together bridges and weaves performance, dance, sound-making, education, and curation.

LOCULUS performances are rooted in their engagement in DIY artist communities. They perform at events in bars, yards, and houses as well as in traditional concert dance spaces. These events, many of which are hosted, curated, and produced by LOCULUS, bring together visual artists, musicians, and performers from a wide variety of media — cross-pollinating and cross-contaminating to bring disparate things into focus. 

Founded in 2015, LOCULUS has performed over 50 times, been guest choreographers at multiple festivals and schools, been featured on compilation cassettes, performed on television, taught master classes in improvisation and collaborative dance-making, published six print and three online journals, and curated over 50 events including four three-day festivals. Since opening their studio in Holyoke in 2022, LOCULUS has taught a weekly community class for over two years and presented the work of more than 40 local and regional artists through workshops, performances, and talks.
