The newest installment of REDCAT's ongoing series of new works and works-in-progress features Hector Aristizabal's recreation of a terrorist encounter; frantic movement-theater from Everyman for Himself; Senegalese drumming and dance from Onmar MBoup and Alicia Hudson; contemporary dance theater choreographed by Catrice Jeanette Lawson; Keith Mason's aggressively staged rant; and Ann Stocking's meditation on sexuality and disability. Curated by Hassan Christopher and Denise Uyehara.

The following six works will be presented both nights in an informal environment that allows both the artists and audience to experience and explore the creative process:

Hector Aristizabal
Nightwing, a chilling solo performance, recreates a true terrorist encounter in Colombia. Hector Aristizabal portrays multiple characters to answer the question, "With what love and faith do I find the strength to kill the terrorist within?"

Ann Stocking
Ann Stocking's solo piece reveals how a disabled woman navigates the sexual jungle of her own Melrose Place.

Catrice Jeanette Lawson
The relationships of African-American men and women -- and the struggles and supports that are reinforced in times of incarceration - are explored in Catrice Jeanette Lawson's elegant work of contemporary dance theater, I Want You.

Everyman for Himself
The Chase follows a young man as he enters the rat race where the only goals are power and prestige. Everyman for Himself uses martial arts, acrobatics, and contact improvisation to create high-paced movement theater.

Keith Mason
Keith Mason takes the audience along on this rant that explores soullessness and homelessness in a hyped-up American warrior dreamscape.

Canné
Canné electrifies the stage with a colorful and fiery presentation of Tandebeer, celebrating and reenacting the social street dance parties of Senegal, West Africa.
