Swallow
By Joel Bray
Come, sweet creature.
Perch on the small of my back.
Cock your head my way and shoot me an Ancestor’s piercing glance.
I yield into leafy linens as you softly warble in my ear:
“Do you Swallow?”

“OK, bye!”
By Alisdair Macindoe
“OK, bye!” marks Alisdair’s third collaboration with his mother, xanya mamunya, whose harp playing can be attributed to the reason he is in dance. A musical and choreographic reflection on ultimate departures, “OK, bye!” explores the cognitive dissonance brought on by feelings of infinity in a world bound by finite limitations.

Harp (recorded): xanya mamunya
Dancers: Geoffrey Watson, Rachel Coulson
