ABOUT:

Something Familiar is an intimate movement installation inspired by the choreographer's family in Ozark County, Missouri, with original music by composer and contemporary banjo artist Michael Rosetto. Through dance, song, and scenic elements, the piece explores real and imagined histories, genetic memory, and the pain and wonder of the ephemeral.

ONE-OFF EXHIBITIONS is a curatorial project dedicated to showcasing experimental, interdisciplinary, and often overlooked work. ONE-OFF provides a flexible platform for individuals working in the visual and performing arts to explore new ideas outside the constraints of commercial expectations.

Founded on the belief that meaningful experiences often exist in the margins, our programming centers on process-driven exhibitions and collaborative explorations. Whether emerging or established, artists are encouraged to share new ideas and expand the boundaries of what can take place within a small space.

ONE-OFF EXHIBITIONS is run by curator/director Tina Schinabeck.

DAWN SPRINGER DANCE PROJECTS synthesize contemporary ballet and feminist thought. The performances employ an empathetic mode of watching dance, valuing virtuosity as a form of agency for the dancer, particularly as it relates to gender. The choreography, made in close collaboration with dancers, composers and artists from other mediums, contrasts powerful and explosive vocabulary with distilled moments of physical surrender. Emphasizing the felt experience over spectacle and objectification, DSDP engages multiple movement forms to push the boundaries of how we see dance and the dancer.
