After having gone many months with physically creating away from each other, Kayla creating from the UK and Donna creating in Houston, we are ecstatic to kick off our reunion in Houston with our newest production of LINEAR/FUNCTION: BORDERLESS. We are Keeping the summer hot with an intimate in person performance that has been carefully designed to be an experience which connects all of your senses.

Kayla Collymore & Donna Crump will take the audience through deconstruction and transitory rebuilding as they also examine how the linear function relates to everyday life; exploring the male and female energies along the way, LINEAR/ FUNCTION will deconstruct the hidden internal assumptions that society so loudly screams. The show is full of pre and post show immersive installs which will challenge you to dive deeper into your own personal reality.

LINEAR/FUNCTION: BORDERLESS is funded in part by the City of Houston through Houston Arts Alliance
