SHADOWTENDER: LIBER II is a love letter to the terrifying secrets of the queer female body - the silent language of memory, nightmares, transmutation, and the endless desire to bloom. Loosely inspired by the concept of the Jungian Shadow, it is an invitation to untangle twisted muscle and locked joints…to transmute a struggle for dominance into a tender embrace.

Created by a vibrant bi-coastal creative team of dancers, immigrants, artists, designers, and scientists, SHADOWTENDER: Liber II combines butoh, physical theatre, martial arts, alchemy, and wearable sculpture to externalize aspects of self that we fear and repress for the purpose of fostering dialogue and integration. Each performance will be followed by a QA session with the artists.

The SHADOWTENDER: Liber II Creative Team is:
Natalya Kolosowsky (artistic director/performer), Maria Thomas (movement consultant/performer), Magda Kaczmarska (choreographer), Adam Cooper-Terán (sound designer), Lindsey Bruno (production manager) , Hank Peterson (lighting designer) + Amy Leona Havin, Ariel Bittner, Carly Ostergaard, and Haley Jensen (dancers)

THE SLIDING SCALE: A TOOL OF ECONOMIC JUSTICE

The sliding scale is a tool that allows for the services of our teachers to be obtained at multiple price points based on the circumstances of the purchaser. We believe that teachers deserve to get paid and students deserve classes which recognize the multiple realities of economic access and privilege that exist. Please refer to this graphic and do your best to truthfully select at the price point that most accurately fits your economic reality. There are a limited amount of slots for the two lower price points at the end of the scale. Please be mindful that if you register at the lowest end of the scale when you can truthfully afford a higher registration price, you are limiting access to those who truly need the gift of financial flexibility.
