This week, we welcomed Sonya Tayeh (@sonyatayeh) and Jenn Freeman (@jfreemover) to the Pillow Lab! 👏✨ The pair will use this time to continue the development of 'Is It Thursday Yet?', a stimulating solo dance work that is a hybrid of theatricality and clinical analysis.

This week, we welcome Michael Sakamoto to the Pillow Lab. He will continue the development of 'Garden of the Wilis,' which blends and uplifts what some consider the oppressive legacies in ballet & butoh with contemporary media culture’s hyper-personalized desires. 📸Cedric Arnold
