Join NMLY.dance, Katelyn Halpern and Persi Mey for an afternoon showing of work in progress. This showing is the culminating event of the week long Excavating: Practice, Process and Presentation Research Week.

The weeks workshop participants will showcase the movement research they have been engaging in over the week with NMLY.dance co-Artistic Directors Nicole McNeil and Lori Yuill. Katelyn Halpern will offer “A Ritual Ceremony for Becoming Several Types of Beast” inviting the audience to imagine, witness, and enact seven steps of transformation and to consider — what beast are you to become, out of necessity or of your choosing? Audiences are encouraged to wear or bring clothes of all one color; other materials will be provided. The showing will also include the premiere screening of a new dance film “Bear-ied”, a dark comedy by Persi Mey.

Houston Met Dance offers Excavating workshops, research weeks and presentations to support dancemakers who are interested in sharing their practice and process with the public through workshops and classes that culminate in documented presentations. The program is part of HMD;s choreographic initiative Made In Houston and designed to support artists who are looking to engage with their peers, and expand their roster of dancers while developing a supportive and informed audience for their work.
