Past/Forward - Doug Hamby's new group work bringing the modern dance of 2012 together with the modern dance of the past. Live dancers perform with archival silent dance films of the 1950's to a new score by Ferdinand Maisel.

memories of walking on the moon- Hallie Dalsimer's solo borne of the vulnerability that comes with taking responsibility for oneself.

Lovely (excerpts)- James Hansen's humorous trio featuring text from the classic television show The Newlywed Game performed at Jacob's pillow in 2011

Drift - a new duet performed and choreographed by Adrienne Clancy and Sandra Lacy to music by Michael Wall
