Force & Motion is a performance series that invites us to explore the bounds and potentialities of performance. Featuring artists of diverse media/disciplines, Force & Motion embraces the dynamic, exploratory, and unusual.

Jasmine Mendoza, and Corey Smith and Lia Kohl are multidisciplinary improvisers, collaborators, and friends. We come together to make scores, drawings, movement, music, poems, rooms. Our collaborative work is founded on a sense of exploration, of play, of mutual support and love. Our work began as a shared curiosity about furniture, and has expanded into a practice exploring space and physicality in many of its forms -- physical, virtual, internal, and imaginary. 

Non- linear abstractions of outlines and time, the sounds Havadine Stone stitches together are often an attempt at stimulating memory and unconscious emotion. Using field recordings, piano, synth programs and other instruments Stone writes for the invisible shapes that present themselves through the day to day mundanity with a curious ear and open heart.

Sam Lewis is an accidental puppeteer who now tries to create intentional work. He has worked for over a decade with a vintage Black Americana marionette, he reimagined as, “Jus Hambone.” Currently, he’s building new puppets for the first time, with the generous help of Grace Needlman of Wonder Wagon, for a long-form piece he’s creating based on newly discovered family history, tentatively titled, Everybody Knew Their Place.
