Choreographer Sara Sguotti continues her collaboration with the Dance Well dancers, part of the community of Dance Well, contemporary dance practice for people living with Parkinson’s. Hop is a journey though the body: a lone body, where the common feeling feeds the strength found in being alone and isolated. In the vicinity, the energy and positivity generated by the movement swells up like a wave. Hop is a living energy that overcomes the barriers of what is possible, where new heroes are born.

Lois Alexander uses water and its transformational qualities as points of departure to reflect on her position as a woman situated at the margins. Water has three states: solid, liquid, gas, and it is always in transition. Surrounded by melting blocks of ice, the artist examines the social structures that continue to effect women of color and rewrites the narrative from her own perspective. Through dance, visual art and sound, Neptune creates a universe that triggers the imagination to form new modes of existence.
