NOVENA

Jay Carlon with Micaela Tobin
REDCAT NOW Festival 2022
Week 2 // Aug 25-27

Derived from Bisaya ritwals for grieving and healing, NOVENA is a meditative performance that wrestles to confront and transmute suffering into vulnerability, joy, and acceptance. Choreographer/dancer Jay Carlon and composer/sound artist Micaela Tobin unearth and reimagine the Filipinx experience toward q***r futurity and collaborate to strengthen, connect, and reinvoke the delicate and intimate web of Filipinx precolonial expressions.

WHAT ARE YOU HOLDING ON TO?

BAGAGGE premieres Thursday April, 22 at 7PM.

BAGGAGE is a theatrical dance work for film by Jay Carlon with a live-score and sound design by musician Alex Wand, produced in creative collaboration with Metro Art Presents & Pieter Performance Space.

BAGGAGE—developed on site in Union Station’s historic Ticketing Hall during a two-week residency by Carlon and Wand—celebrates origin stories and embodies the many histories of arrivals and departures at the station and in our lives. BAGGAGE is a personal family narrative of migration told in three chapters unpacked through music, dance, and memory inside the landmark historic space that has served as a gateway to the many individual and collective California arrival stories over the past eight decades.

Come dance with us! I developed this class series to transmute all the stuck energy into motion! After all, Emotion is just (e)nergy in (motion) — and 2020 has been quite emotional. Let’s get this collective energy into motion, out of our minds and into our bodies for action and purpose!
The EMBODIED class series is a gentle meditation and dance inspired workshop that brings reflections and intentions into embodiment as we transition out of 2020 and into 2021. In the course, we’ll breathe together, dance together, reflect with gratitude, and set intentions for a prosperous year to come. All levels welcome… bring the whole family 😉
EMBODIED // reflections: December 27th 10-11:30a
EMBODIED // intentions: January 3rd 10-11:30a.

It’s October, which means it’s Filipino American History Month.  An important month because it promotes two aspects of my life that I connect with most, being Filipino and American. As I continue to excavate and understand my identity, I've come to accept my identity and purpose. I’ve come ...
