SUMMARY:New Original Works Festival 2026: Week One
DESCRIPTION:Alfonso Abraham Cervera and Irvin Manuel Gonzalez las cosas que
  enter(r)amos Drawing on Latinx American social and folk dance\, storytell
 ing\, and contemporary dance\, Alfonso Abraham Cervera and Irvin Manuel Go
 nzalez explore the (im)materiality of belonging in this new dance duet. Pa
 rtners in life and on dance floors\, they use movement to tell stories tha
 t foreground cuir/queer Mexicanidades. las cosas que enter(r)amos centers 
 rhythm\, aesthetics\, and the body as sites of memory\, mourning\, and res
 istance. Set in Latinx nightlife\, the duet presents grooving and exchange
  as living altars that honor past and present cuir/queer lives and transbo
 rder movidas (moves that expand possibilities for worldmaking). Rooted in 
 rascuachismo—a Chicanx working-class aesthetic of creative resourcefulne
 ss—the duo dances between remembering and re-membering. Scottie Harvey H
 ole Gazers Hole Gazers is a comedic satire about fantasy\, surveillance\, 
 and life online. Wearing a Halloween muscle costume\, Scottie Harvey plays
  the role of MAN—a gay porn star—who feels violated when he finds his 
 likeness is being used in workplace accident prevention videos. Alone in h
 is claustrophobic apartment\, MAN begins messaging the anonymous animator\
 , who has crafted his online avatar\, and imagines an escape from his life
  through the chat box of their relationship. Combining humor\, animation\,
  and performance\, this piece probes the absurdity and possibility of safe
 ty and connection in our slippery virtual world. Jeonghyeon Joo how to bat
 he properly how to bathe properly is a solo work for haegeum\, a two-strin
 g instrument\, performed in a staged Korean sauna. The piece extends the g
 esture and sound of bowing an instrument to the repetitive\, vigorous body
  scrubbing offered in a jjimjilbang\, or Korean spa. As water flows onstag
 e\, Jeonghyeon Joo (Musical Arts PhD 2023) turns the private ritual of bat
 hing into a public performance. Proposing that the labor of being spotless
  is an endless cycle of erasure\, Joo asks what is left behind when we att
 empt to scrub away the history of our own skin. NOW 2026: Week One will be
  presented as one shared program of all three works on Thursday\, Friday\,
  and Saturday.\n\nhttps://mycityscene.com/72691-ffc6afd3
