A weekend of performances featuring works by  LEIMAY Incubator Program alumni and community members — a group of local and international artists working within movement-based practices.

SATURDAY, JULY 11TH

Baby Blue – Spill the Milk
~Drag. Dance. Fluid. Breath. Slide.~

Spill the Milk is a very slippery investigation into the place where drag and dance meet.
An indulgence in sensuality, in mess, in musicality and the intersection between drag and dance. 

Storm Stokes –  there can be angels
~Transfiguring micro-movement improvisational play~

‘there can be angels’ is a body based performance work collapsing porous scores, repetitive gestures, and micromovement improvisation to embody witchy reimagination of religious ritual. The iteration of this performance presented by OUTSIGHT will utilize scores crated for the work’s premiere at Sidewalk Fest Detroit 2025 and movement research developed as part of the LEIMAY Incubator Program. 

Miho Ryu – Between Intervals
~Attuning space through embodied sound~

Trusting oneself and standing fully in the certainty of an embodied presence. Through the senses, the world appears as a reflection of the self, inviting a continuous act of attunement. Listening to the echoes that return through the body, absorbing them, and responding by tuning the world once again. This work explores the beauty that emerges in the intervals between inner and outer landscapes, between action and response, sound and silence. Through vibration, rhythm, and the resonance of skin, it celebrates the ever-shifting relationship between body, space, and perception.

SUNDAY, JULY 12TH

alyxåndra ciale –  (A)ISLE – Excerpt: Don’t Stop Believing
~Choreopoem + Experimental Prayer with Karaoke Machine~

(A)ISLE is an immersive performance installation reconsecrating the backrooms of my childhood house of worship, begging mercy to the question: if I am to become a body that believes again, what happens to belief when the body is no more? This project automythologizes my upbringing in a Filipino Christian cult through choreopoetry, catastrophe-clowning, and kink, contending with the (nation-)state of God amidst rising Christo-Fascism. 

Maho Ogawa – Putt off interactions 関わり合いを持つことを少し休む
~A solo performance exploring meditation and choreography~

Rooted in Maho’s 2023 community survey project, Japanese Tea and Ritual Room, this solo performance is inspired by everyday rituals of calm and reflection shared by New Yorkers.

Andrea Soto – Avalanche
~Avalanche investigates humans’ instincts, psyche, search and loss of control preceding imminent disasters~

Avalanche is a performance for two dancers, performed by Julian Grubman and Andrea Soto. Using the phases of a natural avalanche, the work investigates humans’ instincts, psyche, search and loss of control preceding imminent disasters.
