Funsch's SetList collides two of her works-in-progress from 2024: PastPerfect, created in the spring in San Francisco, and experimental shards made throughout New York State over the summer. SetList careens through the debris fields of the two processes, nourishing vestigial desires from these past explorations. The past processes are embedded in the structure of the new work, where their tattered edges provide undercurrents of tension. SetList is a work in conversation with its component parts. It values tangents over accumulation.

Mayo's Mid-Century Modern is a ride, a kind of spiritual journey through shapeshifting and a reverence for serious play. 

“I woke up from a dream this morning. It was sticking to me. Or the dream itself had been sticky. In it, I had entered some kind of situation. The goings-ons here: the people, actions, and sounds looked familiar, and the conditions and shapes of things were eloquent. Everyone involved was on a transcendent journey and experiencing a myriad of puzzle locations. The gravity and the play of it all were palpable in a way that stayed with me in my waking state long enough for me to remember that the experience we were all having was called embodied philosophy (in the dream). The waking state of this is a dance called Mid-Century Modern.” ~ Mayo
