Lysis is a trans-disciplinary caretaker and nightdancer based in New York.

Myssi Robinson is a Bessie award-winning performer, multi-disciplinary maker and activated caregiver raised on and recently returned to Powhatan lands / Richmond, VA. She has interpreted many dances and dances through many interpretations.  Her practice quilts together imaginative archiving, mixed-media marking / design, ritual curiosity and her own improvising body.  Memory flows through photography / words / responsive visual art / video poetry / affirmative instinct into material altars that uplift arrival, embodiment and spirit sight. In all her working, intuition and empathy play with maximalist instinct to give life to what comes. Gratitude to Carolyn, Darrin and all that is unseen for her life and the protections to create freely within it.

Kris Lee & Lauren Bakst live and work in New York. Their shared performance practice is dedicated to the embodied transmission of queer archives and erotics.
