WHAT IS HOLY is a performance collage of shared histories, rooted in the evolving creative collaboration between Alia Swersky and Hannah Rice. The piece weaves together material from past projects while unearthing the emergent question: What is holy?
Over the past several months, Alia and Hannah have worked with sound, choreography, video, and improvisation scores to explore their artistic connection—one defined by transition and transformation—beginning to end and a beginning again.
Collaborators Wade Madsen, Greg Mares, Rachel LeBlanc, and Casey Adams have all contributed essential elements to the development of this performance.
Audiences are invited to gather on the solstice evening to witness and co-create a space brought to life by this collective of artists—through movement, sound, and shared experience.
Space is limited; we recommend reserving a ticket in advance. Masks are encouraged, but not required at Base.
Accessibility at Base:
The Factory has a ramped entrance located at the north end of the building (through the orange door); the southern entrance of the building is only accessible by stairs. The building has limited outside lighting and can be difficult to navigate and locate when its dark out.
Once inside, Base is accessible by ramp through our front doors. Please note that Base is not a scent-free space. The Factory has two gender neutral multi-stall restrooms and two single stall restrooms that are wheelchair accessible.
Because we share a building with other studios, there are often industrial noises throughout the building and heavy machinery operated such as forklifts.
Any additional accessibility needs/requests for the show? Reach out to aaron@thisisbase.org
