An Evening of Intimate Dance Theater

March 11, 2026

Harmonic Fusion

Company: Melody in Motion

Choreographer: Kayla Laufer

Music: Live music performed by Anna Jarboe.

Original composition “Cyber Serenade” by Anna Jarboe

Dancers: Kayla Laufer and Harry Sukonik

Harmonic Fusion is a contemporary dance piece that delves into the evolving relationship between

humanity and artificial intelligence. Blending fluid human movement with the precision of technology,

this work explores the tension and harmony between organic and digital worlds. With live music

enhancing the dynamic interplay, Harmonic Fusion invites the audience to contemplate the future of

this intricate relationship.

Weight of Being

Choreography: Tracie Stanfield

Music: Julia Kent

Dancer: Eleanor Lousky

Leveling

Choreographer: Meredith Pellon

Dancer: Meredith Pellon

Leveling is a movement quest for stability. A solo dancer explores quality within balance, actively

working to calibrate themselves on an uncertain landscape. Just as the landscape appears to

have evened out, a new challenge introduces itself in the ground beneath the dancer. This mutable

environment offers opportunities to try out new movement approaches, underscored by the soloist’s

desire for balance.

The Couple from Floor 13

Choreographer: Holly Borrelli

Dancers: Gemma Leary, Emanuele Fiore, Holly Borrelli

Following a romantic candle-lit anniversary dinner, the couple returns to their haunted hotel room,

where a vengeful bellhop brings their darkest fears to life. Passion quickly ignites into a burning rage,

and the night unravels into a battle neither one of them can escape.

The Couple from Floor 13 is an excerpt from a mysterious dance-theater production called Floor 13,

which will premiere in NYC this upcoming October. Follow @secretsonfloor13 on all social media

platforms to watch the mystery unravel.

Empire State

Choreographer: Alyssa Fuhrman

Dancer: Allyson Peter

This piece celebrates the many faces of New York City and those who choose to call it home. New

York is not just a place, but a living, breathing entity—a city that demands resilience and rewards

those who embrace it. This is a love letter to the city and to the people who make it extraordinary.

The Tree of Life

Company: Prints Dance Company

Choreographer: Lihi Dor

Dancers: Oliver Jones, Ciara Halligen and Lihi Dor

Music: This piece is performed without music.

The Tree of Life is a work performed in silence that explores how knowledge, values, and

communication are transmitted between people and across generations. Inspired by the

choreographer’s agricultural family background, the piece examines connection through physical

listening and shared presence. Rooted in an evolving creative process that began in 2018, this

revised version deepens the work’s investigation of how relationships are built through exchange,

memory, and shared experience.

Recenter and Release

Choreographer: Gabrielle Marino

Dancer: Gabrielle Marino

This solo focuses on one’s journey to finding balance and peace while simultaneously completing

a series of disruptive actions. These movement patterns represent one’s ability to navigate pain

in order to be on a path to acceptance. One must embrace the familiar tension that they hold and

welcome it in. The movement was created from a series of action words: push, pull, twist, break, arc,

collapse, etc.

Stay

Company: Ara Dance Project

Choreographer: Ashley Taylor

Dancers: Anastassia Perfilieva, Ashley Taylor, Kevin Vogel

Ara Dance Project illuminates the intersection of the human and the transcendent through the beauty

of movement. This piece imagines a trio of siblings as they navigate an uncertain and sometimes

unfriendly world, returning to the place of safety and home they find with each other.

Older Than I Am

Company: Metanoia Dance

Choreographer: Jenifer Dillow

Dancer: Miranda Shaughnessy

Metanoia Dance is a New York City–based company founded by Artistic Director Jenifer Dillow in

2021. Rooted in transformation, the company creates work with the intention of shifting the tide

through movement — fostering healing, truth, and human connection. Older Than I Am, performed

by company member Miranda Shaughnessy, traces the journey of a young woman navigating the

aftermath of assault and reclaiming her voice within her own story. Through intimate physicality and

emotional honesty, the work honors resilience, agency, and the courage to be heard.

Overflow

Choreographer: Madeline Anderson

Dancer: Madeline Anderson

Music: “Stick Season” by Noah Khan

Overflow (Solo) unveils the hidden interior of a woman living with a personality disorder, where

emotion exists in extremes. She experiences moments of radiant joy — expansive, electric, almost

transcendent — followed abruptly by depths of piercing pain. There is little middle ground, only

intensity. Outwardly she maintains composure, carefully constructing a version of herself that

appears steady and controlled. Beneath the surface, however, attachment, fear, devotion, and shame

rise and crash in relentless waves. The choreography shifts between lightness and rupture, revealing

the cost of emotional whiplash. What is witnessed is not instability alone, but a nervous system

overwhelmed — brilliant, sensitive, and aching for balance.

Are We?

Company: Moasïque Dance Theater

Choreography/Poem: Nicolas Fiery and Sofía Forero

“Are We?” is a duet choreographed by Sofía Forero and Nicolas Fiery, and is danced to a spoken

word poem written by both artists. The text reflects both Fiery’s and Forero’s personalities to

showcase their true selves. The piece reveals the journeys of these two individual artists as they

search for their own voices and places as humans, sharing their experiences and dreams.

Sofía Forero (Colombia) and Nicolas Fiery (France) are NYC–based choreographers and

performers whose collaborative practice bridges cultures and disciplines. Their work fuses ballet,

modern, contemporary, hip-hop, and Latin influences to create immersive, interdisciplinary

performances that examine human connection through movement, music, and visual design.

Graduates with Honors from The Ailey School, they have performed works by iconic choreographers

including Merce Cunningham, Paul Taylor, Alvin Ailey, and Darrel Moultrie. Their choreography has

been presented at leading venues such as Sony Music Hall, Dixon Place, and the 14th Street Y, with

performances throughout the United States and Europe.In 2024, they co-directed, produced, and choreographed Mosaïque, a critically acclaimed immersive

production that premiered in Paris. Both are dancers with Pajarillo Pinta’o Dance Company and

certified GYROTONIC® trainers, bringing a somatic and interdisciplinary approach to their work.
