Thursday, Jan. 29: “Boxed”
Written by: Faculty Fellow Mylan Gray
Directed by: Allie Moss
Performance by: Marcus Fitzpatrick and Tyson Scott ’29
It's Ryan's first day at a mysterious office where the workers occasionally fight each other to the death. In a world that encourages Black men to kill each other to survive, “Boxed” asks if it's possible for Black men to love each other in the face of state-sanctioned brutality and a culture where lethal violence is an everyday reality.

Friday, Jan. 30: “Horizon”
Performance by: Tahni Holt and Emma Lutz-Higgins
“Horizon” is a dance. It is loose in identity and sharp in perception. It is a constant reshaping of relationships between sculpture and sound, light, bodies and space, and the forming and reforming islands of kinship and sentiment.
Saturday, Jan. 31: “This Time Just the Undernetting”
Performance by: LA Samuelson
Supported by the Robert and Mabel Groseclose Endowed Lecture Fund
“This Time Just the Undernetting” is a performance work situated in that queer terrain between “having a body” and “being a body.” Assembled from animation, rotating light sources, and one dancer, it makes momentary dwellings out of holes, ladders and gaps, looking for the ways we find home in bodies that experience more loss as they accumulate more life.
