love getaway

love getaway is a procession gone rogue. A journey through moments of instinctual bliss and transparent shades of reinvented memories. A dance to adapt, embrace, untangle, and reassemble the cherished fragments of our multiple selves.

Gloria in Six Acts

This piece is part of an ongoing, cyclical performance about the way we communicate with, play into, and resist the archetypes of the feminine that hang in the air over our growth and interactions as individuals. In this witchy choreographic, comedic and musical romp, we≥≥7 invoke the ghosts of gendered reality and strive to elevate a liberating experience of the femme. We invite you to be haunted with us by the spirits of Gloria past, present and future!

Lili Weckler | Unhinge

Unhinge is a platform for a genre of hybrid performance we call Choreographic Rock Opera. Our pieces interweave choreographic, musical, theatrical, and visual elements to create devised works blending narrative and non-narrative structures. In our day to day lives, our cultural and economic systems hold us hostage. But on the stage, we are free to fashion and refashion our identities, and to craft new universes for ourselves to inhabit. Our pieces explore the body as a site for social and political inquiry, inviting viewers and participants to exhume the anger, fear, wisdom, and hope buried in their muscles, organs and psyches, as resources to instigate change.
