Click here for Directions/map to venue
In the early eighth century BCE, the Neo-Assyrian Empire conquered the Northern Kingdom of Israel, from whence it has been said that ten of the twelve ancient tribes of Israel were deported and assimilated. These tribes are now lost to history, with a variety of folktales, legends, and theories about their fates having come about since that time. Some are told from the point of view of those who regard themselves as members of a lost tribe, while others are told from an outside perspective in order to make a case for self-serving outcomes.
Framed in the context of a gallery exhibition, lost tribes weaves together stories from the Assyrian conquest to the present day, tracing a world history of assimilation and dominance; of cultural conquest, annihilation, and survival. The performance incorporates choreography by Kai Hazelwood and a live percussion score composed by Michael Skloff, created in collaboration with Emilia Moscoso Borja and Alex Shaw. The production is written and directed by theatre dybbuk’s artistic director, Aaron Henne, and developed with the ensemble.

With extraordinary dancers and eloquent choreography, Clairobscur Dance presents it’s evening: Supremacy Ride. This performance features Laurie Sefton’s choreography with two world premieres and her sensual 2017 work Girl, Get Off (with original sound score by Bryan Curt Kostors).
Known for dense and detailed movements, Laurie Sefton’s award winning choreography is personal, emotional, and issue-based. It focuses on conveying complex ideas such as humanity, bullying, identity, climate change, memory loss, power, and sexuality. Dance has the power to be an action of change. It acts as a lens, magnifying concepts through abstraction and physicality, translating intangible ideas into movement. Choreography decodes emotional content and viscerally affects those who experience it. Ms. Sefton collaborates with researchers, composers, designers, poets and conceptual artists to investigate topics and develop a cohesive intention. For Supremacy Ride Ms. Sefton tackles issues sexual identity, societal stress brought about by the 2016 elections and collaborates with Hip Hop poet/spoken word artist Jason Chu.
