Don’t miss the The WORLD PREMIERE of Slip Force by on MAY 1st at the 🌟 You can purchase your tickets through the 🔗 in our bio

Slip Force explores the tension between imposed systems and the quiet, persistent force of women reclaiming voice and agency.
-
Throughout the piece, recurring structures including a skeletal house, a circling train, and a fragile house of cards echo monuments of power that feel both imposing and ultimately insignificant. They are built, maintained, and repeated, despite their instability and cost.
-
The work moves between precision and unraveling, humor and severity, exposing how force is applied, absorbed, and resisted, Slip Force questions what we continue to uphold, and what becomes possible when a body no longer consents to be read, controlled, or contained.
