Join us as we celebrate the holidays with food, drink, and community and enjoy a short performance of our developing work: Awaken. Awaken will premiere in full May 8-10, 2025 at New York Live Arts as our 25th Annual Performance Season.

 

Awaken will weave original material with resonant choreography from Selwyn’s 25 years of rich repertory. The piece will explore the struggle between distraction, a quest for certainty, and living in an embodied present. Selwyn’s athletic choreography will dramatize the complexities of staying grounded, connected, and present in a modern world of endless distraction, consumerism, and convenience. Shifting sections of the work will zero in on our relationship with ambiguity, control, trust, overthinking, vulnerability, and resilience.
