SPLIT BILL - Olana Flynn & Madison Palffy

April 26, 2025

7:30pm | $15 - $45

 

Over the past number of months we have each been working on new projects which will be presented in a split-bill studio showing. Olana has been working with Katherine Kain and Evelyn Kirby, building upon her recent solo investigations into sound and movement to develop a duet investigating resonance, memory, and proximal vibration. Madison has been working with Maghan Baptiste, Sonya Marx, and Mara Poliak--together they have been cultivating a series of practices/scores that disorient and dis-locate objects, beings, and bodies to generate new meanings and possibilities.
