A fully transcribed, described, and open-captioned film screening that’s nothing short of their actual open heart.
Heat-mapped bodies, found porn films, Korean psyche-folk, creepy police intrusion and self-defence.
Profound mathematical ideas for romantics, to help us linger in the difference we share.

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.

William cradles, hammers, and rains down blows, plucking and using 2 bows to attack the strings above and below the bridge, all in the service of a fiery and passionate creativity.
