Aiding and thwarting Jack’s pursuit are a collection of comic characters including his crusty and cranky father, Sir Anthony, Lydia’s meddling and misspoken aunt, Mrs. Malaprop, and a pair of adversaries: the jovial Bob Acres and the salty Sir Lucius O’Trigger. Will romance spark in the midst of hilarious circumstances and mistaken identities?

An Augur: Future Visions features new work experiments, rituals, and divination practices that will invite the audience to read the patterns of the present to foretell the future. Augury was a pre-Roman empire practice of interpreting the flight movements of birds to divine omens, messages from the gods of what was to come.

This event's selected artists will share their work developed in conversation with these themes; reflecting on the nature of time, engaging personal history to find healing paths forward, and discerning present trends to imagine possible futures. Since this Future Visions Performance Lab is concerned with perspective shifts that stir curiosity and new ways of noticing, the evening will also find these artists exploring non-traditional performance spaces and relationships to audience all over the second floor of the building.

Directed by George Mount

Romance novels have given young (and wealthy!) Lydia Languish some ridiculous notions, and she insists on marrying a poor man for the sake of true love. Hoping to woo the young woman, Captain Jack Absolute pretends to be a poor army officer. Aiding and thwarting Jack’s pursuit are a collection of comic characters including his crusty and cranky father, Sir Anthony, Lydia’s meddling and misspoken aunt, Mrs. Malaprop, and a pair of adversaries: the jovial Bob Acres and the salty Sir Lucius O’Trigger. Will romance spark in the midst of hilarious circumstances and mistaken identities?

(One night only) 

What happens if we take our time? is a weeklong residency program that activates four core black artists – Gabrielle Civil, Randy Ford, Neve Mazique-Bianco, and Fox Whitney –to work and play together in a ritual/black movement intensive for Martin Luther King Jr. Day and beyond.

Performing under the moniker Wild Beauty, the ensemble of four artists will begin working intensively together on January 12 and will close on January 20 with an MLK Day celebration at Velocity to break bread, share new performance gestures, and receive any community offerings. Wild Beauty arrives to hold space for black power, heritage, creativity, and communion.

What does it mean to dance (blackness) in blackness? In the heart of winter, how can we bloom, share breath, heal, and open space? How can we conjure medicine and experiment with joy?  What happens if we take our time?

Directed by George Mount

Romance novels have given young (and wealthy!) Lydia Languish some ridiculous notions, and she insists on marrying a poor man for the sake of true love. Hoping to woo the young woman, Captain Jack Absolute pretends to be a poor army officer. Aiding and thwarting Jack’s pursuit are a collection of comic characters including his crusty and cranky father, Sir Anthony, Lydia’s meddling and misspoken aunt, Mrs. Malaprop, and a pair of adversaries: the jovial Bob Acres and the salty Sir Lucius O’Trigger. Will romance spark in the midst of hilarious circumstances and mistaken identities?
