What's Behind Our Ticketing Tiers?
We are thrilled to launch our new tiered ticketing, crafted to prioritize maximum compensation for our incredible artists, fair wages for our production team, and inclusive ticket prices for all our performances. This structure also addresses the financial challenges of producing live performances in NYC by aligning ticket costs more closely with the actual, unsubsidized value of each seat. Our ticket options now range from $17 to $50. We recognize that systemic inequities create barriers to the arts. The $17 HEARTS tier is offered in the spirit of community care and is open to those who need it. Regardless of the ticket price, every attendee will enjoy the same magical experience.

AKANE LITTLE
formaldehyde
formaldehyde begins with a mortal body hypnotized by fantasies of material preservation. In a soundscape of sparkling commercials, the body is seduced and disciplined by materials that resist decay - nail polish, Botox, embalming, competition dance. As the body processes each encounter, it contends with the inevitable decay of flesh, ultimately arriving at a plea for eternally preserved death. This state, inherently untenable, cracks at its edges as the body is alchemized by rot and fungi - offering a re-entry into a different eternity.
Akane Little is a Brooklyn-based dance artist approaching the body and performance as an altar-portal for transmuting energy and channeling worlds. They started off in competition dance in a small-town studio in Mississippi, and continued on to study contemporary dance under Alysia Ramos at Oberlin College. They have freelanced in both Cleveland, OH (Catherine Meredith, Megan Young, Madi Jackson, Rebecca Burcher, and more) and New York City (Kinesis Project, Boy Friday, Hivewild, Hard/Femme Dances, God Complex x Aeon Andreas, Nick Brooke, Michael Chinworth, Chaesong Kim, and more). Commercial credits include Bridget Kearney (Lake Street Dive), Carolina Oliveros (Combo Chimbita), Tom Petty, and Sam Smith. Since 2023, they have been a core member of the LEIMAY Ensemble under the direction of Ximena Garnica & Shige Moriya. @akane.little | akanelittledance.com

LAMBKIN
DEENA
In Deena, the titular backup dancer longs to be a pop star. However, when her estranged father suddenly passes, unconsolable grief and unresolved remembrances force cracks through her reality, fracturing her sense of self and complicating the pursuit of her dreams.
Lambkin is a musician, composer, and director based in Brooklyn, New York. Hailing from the DMV, the multi-hyphenate artist synthesizes the kinetic charge of electronic music and modern dance performance to stage narratives at the nexus of communal grief, ancestral memory, and the quotidian horrors of capital. Lambkin has collaborated with fellow artists such as KeiyaA, Cleo Reed, Ms. Boogie, and OHYUNG. on works ranging from live musical performances to experimental theatre shows. Lambkin's dance theater work has been presented with institutions such as Times Square Arts, the Solomon R. Guggenheim, Jacob’s Pillow, The Kitchen, Danspace, and The Shed. Perfect Blue, Lambkin’s debut EP which she self-released in 2020, is a collection of abstractionist R&B songs, which earned Lambkin notable recognition from the likes of the FADER, KEXP, and Resident Advisor.
