Phase Change is a performance created by Robin Ekeya, Leland Hull, Hannah Krafcik, and Emily Jones during our time in the Residency at New Expressive Works from September 2023-February 2024. You can watch the performance in it’s entirety here.

We are a cohort of movers who trade off facilitating at a local Queer Contact Improvisation (CI) Jam. For us, practicing Queer CI involves tracking assumptions that arise as we dance together and considering where these assumptions have originated from. We came to this residency with curiosities: How do we work as a coequal quartet? How do we tend to one another's differences and intersections during this process? How do we develop this traditionally experiential form into a proscenium performance?

Our research is ongoing! Join us for Queer Contact Improvisation Jams.
