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.

ARIANA SPEIGHT
PSA
pubic: of, related to, or situated near the pubes or pubis
PSA, Pubic Service Announcement, is a call and response.
Dance, humor, and other liberatory practices initiate a dialogue between the bodies currently and formerly inhabiting the space, revealing an accumulation of selves. Rooted in blackness and steeped in spontaneity, this work invites tangible histories and amorphous memories to surface. These radical acts of resistance are compositional activations that aim to disrupt the crippling systems of capitalism, patriarchy, and war. As our government and global powers continue to fund genocide, militarization, and surveillance, the targeting and brutalizing of QTBIPOC communities has increased exponentially, ultimately limiting our freedoms and censoring our voices. PSA centers storytelling and oral composites, amplifying connection, introduction, interruption, lineage, and relationship.
Ariana Speight is a contemporary dance artist invested in researching the curiosities of life through various mediums. She has worked with a number of artists: Kayla Farrish, Joanna Kotze, Jordan Demetrius Lloyd, Kyle Marshall, Anna Sperber, and Jessie Young.

CRISTINA MOYA-PALACIOS
ALL IMMERICAN DREAM GIRL!
All Immerican Dream Girl! is a dance-theater solo work that shines a light on the complexity of the immigrant experience in the United States. It is a dizzying commentary on “The American Dream” told from the perspective of a Latina “Dreamer”, otherwise known as a Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipient. Through overwhelming bouts of extreme physicality and segments that never seem to settle, viewers enter a simulation of the taxing cycles, unraveling, and inability to move forward that the immigration process entails. Using Latin American symbols of celebration and Americana imagery, this work takes us on a journey to nowhere via completely pathless attempts at assimilation, that ultimately lead to a reckoning of the crumbling facade this empire has tried to sell us.
Cristina Moya-Palacios is a Venezuelan-born, Miami-raised artist with a BFA from New World School of the Arts. She’s had the pleasure of working with Adele Myers and Dancers, Rosie Herrera Dance Theatre, Bobbi Jene Smith, and Michelle Dorrance. Now in Brooklyn, she’s performing with Kashia Kancey, Miguel Alejandro Castillo, Valentina Bache, Skyla Schreter Dance, and Luis A. Lara Malvacías. Her own choreographic work focuses on the immigrant experience, Latine identity, and surrealism portrayed through rigorous movement and theater. Most recently, she presented solo work in Performance Mix Festival 39, at L’SPACE Gallery for New York Textile Month, and in Xenoduo’s installation performances at Sunset Park and Union Square. Cristina was a New Dance Alliance LiftOff Resident Artist in 2024 and a GALLIM Moving Artist in Residence in 2025. She also received the highly coveted title of “Miss Pageant” after performing her work in Pageant’s 3rd Anniversary Gala. Beyond choreographing and performing, Cristina enjoys crafting sonic scores, making silly Halloween costumes, and has served as a translator for the Limón Dance Company. @pmoyacristina
Kashia Kancey (performer) is a Miami-born performer and choreographer, who earned her BFA in Dance from New World School of the Arts. Kashia is based in Brooklyn and continues to pursue her career as a performer and choreographer. She is the 2025 Triskelion Arts Fellow and a 2025 Fresh Tracks New Works residency artist.
Valentina Baché (costume designer) is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice is rediscovering their ancestral bodily archives to best inform how change happens within the body first, recognizing and witnessing profoundly effective energies such as rage. They showcase the power of pleasure and joy through resilient, stubborn, and unbound honesty. They also create hand-woven art, "Raspaditos," only using second-hand/deadstock fabric and scissors to create genderless, sexy, and versatile clothing that can be danced in.
