My own body is imprinted by: American dance theater, Filipino karaoke parties, a Bolshoi ballerina, immigrant parents, suburban aspirations, Post-Modern chance forms, and slapstick comedy. Working in concert with performers and audiences alike, I’m invested in devising experimental spaces to test beliefs of authority, horizontal organization, and temporary utopias.

Kayla Yee

I will vacillate between free-form movement exploration and structured sequence building for the sake of environmental art-ivism. What does incubation mean to you? Pressurized containment for the sake of creativity.

Gabriella Carmichael

I will be working to reinvigorate my practice and hopefully develop more consistency and uninhibited creativity. What does incubation mean to you? Incubation to me is the time prior to insight. It’s getting ready, it’s patience.

Maya Balam Meyong

Alongside my fellow artists, I seize LEMAY residency opportunity to start crafting an immersive and multi-faceted performance on the theme of environment. What does incubation mean to you? Dedicated time for exploration, craft and growth.

Through choreographed films and live performances, we’re working to challenge the status-quo and create unconventional and radically vulnerable work which helps us make sense of our changing world and reimagine how dance exists in our spaces and in our bodies. What does incubation mean to you? “an environment that allows an idea to develop, mature and reach its full potential.”

Ankita Sharma

I will be working on a new piece that situates nationalism and ensuing warfare on brown bodies within myth What does incubation mean to you? Loving on your ideas with inspiration, space, and time.

Mamiko Nakatsugawa

In this program, I am hoping to accomplish two things – one is to keep working on my latest work, While is Motion, and other is to create brand new work. What does incubation mean to you? Process that is full of discovery, learning, challenges, playfulness, joy, and connection with myself and the community.

Ari LaMora

My work is centered around the many varied layers we encounter in our lives, specifically the layers of gender and societal roles, and where I, as a non-binary gender non-conforming human, fit in. Breaking these layers down to get to the origin, I then use that origin to find different pathways that are separate from the “norm.” Incubation to me is the period between exposure (to an idea) and the result from that exposure (creating, working, processing, thinking).

Niki Farahani

I will be doing a deep dive into a past solo with the hopes of a newer emergence. I will be conducting new research within disciplines in conjunction to movement. Additionally, I will be calling on Annie Heath for assistance, consultation, and collaboration. What does incubation mean to you? Presently, incubation means entering into an environment in which the conditions are geared towards my fundamental and intellectual development. Through certain fixed conditions, I believe avenues of experimental play and learning can appear more readily. It feels like sustained support with non linear possibilities.
