Ursula Eagly: Our Epithelium

Ursula Eagly’s Our Epithelium is choreography for psychosocial motor systems. Highly composed and barely performative, this piece is made by secretion, absorption, and interaction. It is a piece for a large cast and a small audience, with two performances per evening at 8pm & 9pm. Writes Eagly, “It is architectural, reciprocal, interpersonal, intersubjective, and we can’t do it without you.”

Our Epithelium features: Madeline Best, Peggy Cheng, André Daughtry, Rebecca Davis, Blaze Ferrer, Katherine Howard, Elena Rose Light, Julie Mayo, Kay Ottinger, Londs (Lindsay) Reuter, and Tara Sheena, with lighting by Kathy Kaufmann
