- Untitled, a short film by Jessica Lipman.
Street corners, basements, classrooms, bars, dance studios. Abandoned
spaces, forgotten spaces. Dancers of Insurgo Stage Project, a New
Brunswick-based experimental dance and theatre troupe, use multiple
forms of expression to take up, and take back, New Brunswick spaces.
Jessica Lipman is a Studio Mentor in the Rutgers English Department’s
Plangere Culture Lab, and is the Collaborative Arts Series Coordinator
of coLAB Film Festival. Currently, she is the resident videographer
of Insurgo Stage Project. She made this film in collaboration with
Insurgo Stage Project’s director, Avianna Perez, as well as the
dancers of Insurgo Stage Project.
- Untitled, a new solo dance piece with text by Justin Woo and Avianna Perez. Performed by Avianna Perez.
Intention, objective, purpose, direction, aspiration. In her latest work, Avianna Perez explores these ideas in hopes of arriving at a new understanding of her intention as an artist (and as a human), and why these questions are important.
