Leslie Dworkin (Austin)
Dworkin’s new duet "Sanctuary" — premiered last month at Joyce SoHo in New York — is a richly-textured landscape, full of detail, lithe fluidity and sparkling gestures. Two disparate people find a connection when their paths intersect; a shared movement language is created, spanning the psychic and physical space between two worlds. Danced by Dworkin herself and the lovely Darla Stanley.

Leslie Scates, Tiffany Couser, and Jhon Stronks
"Flying Legs of Doom" uses improvisation technique and form to create dance performance, based on the delegation of choreographic and production elements, as well as statement of artistic desire.  Sound design by Jhon Stronks, lighting by Jeremy Choate and Leslie Scates, costumes by Tiffany Couser.  Performed by Couser, Scates, and Stronks, three very refined and very different dancers in terms of movement style and language, creating for the audience a fascinating juxtaposition of various modes of impetus, development, and delivery.

Darla Stanley (Connecticut)
"Neuro-flak", a new solo work by Darla Stanley, essays the moment of explosion when the forces of scientism and spiritual transformation collide. To a riveting score for bowed piano by composer Toby Twining and with a costume by Philadelphia's Heidi Barr, Stanley's choreography combines liquid movement with taut outbursts.

Amy Ell
In "ogle", a new multi-media work, Ell tinkers with nuances of observation and perception using projected video and both pre-recorded movement and live movement.  This work toys with an intentional confusion and melding of time and a superimposition of real and imagined images.  Creation of this piece is supported by a Houston Arts Alliance Individual Artist Grant and Choreography Fellowship awarded to Ell.
