For the health and safety of our community, this performance has been cancelled. We will seek to reschedule suspended performances and events when reasonably possible.

This installment of Danspace Project’s Food for Thought series presents an evening of performance selected by guest curator, Alexis Convento. Admission is just $5 + 2 cans of food or $10. Canned goods are donated to the Momentum Project, which provides support to any person in need in NYC, especially those living with HIV/AIDS or other chronic illness.

Alexis Convento is a Pilipinx-American producer, project manager, and curator working between New York City and Berlin. Alexis collaborates with brands and artists alike to ideate, develop, and execute work with intention and scale. After graduating with a BFA in Dance from Fordham University, Alexis founded the CURRENT SESSIONS, an experimental dance and performance series which showed 214 emerging artists. She has since curated shows for Gibney, La MaMa Experimental Theatre, Center for Performance Research, and SPRING/BREAK Art Show.

On this evening, she has invited artists Oluwadamilare (Dare) Ayorinde, Kristel Baldoz, and Taeyoon Choi to share work.

Food for Thought is presented, in part, with public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, in partnership with the City Council.
