- INTERMISSION the DIVIDE (Premiere) Choreographers / Dancers: Rohini Acharya, Sami L.A. Akuna Music: Deepak Ram, Amorphous Androgynous, Amar Lighting Designer: Asuka Endo Note: This piece explores the dichotomy of the spirit and the body through the physical characteristics of two birds.

QIU HUO (AUTUMN FIRE) (2011) Choreographer / Dancer: Devon Izumigawa Music: Wang Hui Lighting Designer: Nelson Rosa Note: This dance is inspired by Chinese martial dance and interprets the playful, yet deadly, nature of fire as it blazes through the earth.

DECEIVE OUR BELOVED (Premiere) Choreographer / Dancer: Angie Haugejorde Music: Adam Gurr Lighting Designer: Asuka Endo PARA el REY (Premiere) Choreographer: Cher Anabo Music: Zoe Keating Lighting Designer: Ray Moschuk Dancer: Reyson Vendiola NAVIGATOR (premiere) Choreographer: Antonia Brown Music: Zoe Keating Lighting Designer: Nelson Rosa Dancers: Kalei Auld, Antonia Brown, Lauren Herlicska, Lexi Hughes, Malia Wild Note: Traditional Polynesian navigation required immense knowledge of the sea and stars, and a fearless and confident character to wield that wisdom. Inspired by Will Kyselkas first-hand accounts, this dance places the navigators moments of fear and self-doubt in proportion, as a tiny human drama amidst the waves of a mighty ocean.
