From Diverseworks:
“12 Minutes Max: ESP is a short-form performance showcase for new and in-progress works up to twelve minutes long featuring artists selected by the Diverseworks Artist Advisory Committee. The participating lead artists are Aveda Adara, Mashal Awais, Emilio Carrera, Shelby Craze, Eli Greene, Loren Holmes, Koomah, Alexandra Lechin, Adele Nickel, Corey De’Juan Sherrard Jr., Jadd Tank, and Isabella Mireles Vik. Each evening has a unique line-up (see the full schedule below). Innovative sound, dance, music, and movement works reflect upon our current times and explore aspects of endurance, geopolitics, language, belonging, dreaming, and, of course, the number twelve!
The theme of this festival revolves around the initials ESP. Whether you interpret it as experimental short performances, extrasensory perception, extra saucy pasta, every sexy person, or simply enjoy something performative—it’s up to you. We are not defining ‘experimental’ in any particular way. Let the experiment be whatever you believe it means today. There are no parameters for artists in this one-of-a-kind program.
