Palimpsest investigates how memory lives in the body and in space—layered, erased, rewritten, and revealed. A first iteration premiered at Judson Church through Movement Research on January 12, 2026, offering a glimpse of the work’s emerging physical language, spatial logic, and emotional terrain.

Story Time was performed May 2025 at The Center at West Park. Above is a trailer for the live show, below photos from the piece (by Julie Lemberger) —also, a fun promo from a photo shoot (costumes: Katrin Schnabl). We also created a short film: Story Time, cinematography and editing by Nate Reininga. Below is the trailer.

Our film Story Time will screen in the Liminal Dance Film Festival April 24 - 26, 2026 at Dance Place in Washington DC.
