The three duets in SHOW or TELL ask how our response changes when we encounter elements of language, repetition and relationship, and their interplay with the idea of expectation. The working lunch was a “kitchen table” conversation about presenting experimental dance in many places: how, for whom, and with what money.

Support for this program was provided by the New Stages for Dance Initiative, a program of Dance UP, with leadership support provided by the MetLife Foundation.

Thirdbird was the collaborative wing of the shared endeavors of Anna Drozdowski (proprietor of Ladybird) and Dustin Hurt (founder of Bowerbird). First hatched for the Blindspot festival in 2011, it served as a way to share dance, music and performance art.
