LEIMAY is delighted to introduce the members of the second cohort of the 2023 Incubator Program: Dominica Greene, Kelsey Rondeau, Synead Cidney Nichols, Nicole Goodwyn, Rachel Calabrese & Sawyer Newsome

I’m in the process of exploring the motivation behind the change of heart one experiences when seeking solace/repentance from life’s troubles and disruptions and how intimacy, movement and sound can inspire a more positively impactful shift.  “ – Synead Cidney Nichols  

I will be producing/working on a new body-movement performance piece inspired by the combinations of “pop-n-lock”/”b-boy” dance, and Butoh, and modern dance along with motion detection and stillness of the body. “ – Nicole Goodwyn 

Coming from a background of concert dance, immersive theater, burlesque and drag, I make work that honors these disciplines to challenge and explore my conceptions of self/hood unique to my voice.” – Kelsey Rondeau 

We will be working on creating a piece that has to do with the passage of time & our distortion of time when it comes to memory – inspired by Salvadore Dali’s painting “The Persistence of Memory““  – Rachel Calabrese & Sawyer Newsome  

I will be utilizing this incubation period to develop interactive, movement-oriented stations which aim to enforce my philosophy that dance is a mindset.  “ – Dominica Greene
