JUMPSUIT: works in the works
January 26th, 2025 at 7 PM
Jump into the new year with "Jumpsuit!" An experimental performance night for works-in-the-works. Curated by the Short Shorts team, "Jumpsuit" gives performers a longer time-frame than they would get at Short Shorts Open Stage. Sometimes, an idea needs more than 5 minutes! While slightly more formal, this evening will maintain the casual, supportive vibe of Short Shorts, hosted by Alisa Popova & Erica Badgeley.
Artists: Hsin-Yu Huang & Olivia Anderson, Christian Swenson & Hannah Rice, Lucie Baker, Matthew Ozgercin, Naphtali Beyleveld, & Zara Martina López.
