A life force of ecstatic clarity capable of loquacious bursts of affirmation.

I wanna be with you everywhere is an everywhere gathering envisioned for and by disability communities and anyone who wants to get with us. IWBWYE returns to Performance Space and any space on June 21 for an outdoor pop-up and hybridized event.

A dialogical meeting of Baraka’s radical poetry and Grimes’ free jazz syncopation.
A testimony to poverty from Chris’s own experiences, and an invitation to engage with an all too typical situation and context through a kind of imaginary listening.
Bleu Shut reveals, and allows us to enjoy, our gullibility within the pervasive absurdity of modern life.
