About this event

Operation: Alice is a work in progress that uses the framework of contemporary dance. Inspired by Alice in Wonderland, this piece focuses on an individual thrown out of a familiar place and follows them through an adventure. The work is an exploration of an internal battle many people fight, through the use of mirrors literally and figuratively, and poses questions like “Who am I in this world?” The performance explores the multiple evolving dimensions within each person, how the individual navigates and interacts with the external physical world, and how they relate to the private world flourishing in their mind. It also explores interruption and encapsulation, whether it be physical or psychological, as performers negotiate space and time.

Operation: Alice was created with the support of a 2024-25 CUNY Dance Initiative Residency at LaGuardia PERFORMING ARTS CENTER.

CPR – Center for Performance Research

CPR – Center for Performance Research is dedicated to supporting artists in the development of new work in contemporary dance and performance. CPR focuses its activities in three key areas: creative and professional development support; providing affordable space for artists; and public programming. Curated and open-call programs focus on providing artists with rehearsal, residency, and performance support, which generates time and space for research and dialogue, and creates opportunities to share work in a variety of contexts. CPR’s subsidized space rental program helps to ensure that artists can access CPR’s flexible studios and performance space at affordable rates to create and share their work. By presenting work to the public through performances, work-in-progress showings, salon-style discussions, exhibitions, and festivals, CPR exposes local audiences and its community to contemporary artistic practice and process.
