About the Artists

PENELOPE WENDTLANDT is a multi-disciplinary performer originally from Germany. Some of her favorite credits along with being a former company member of STOMP are; performing with Dorrance Dance at NY City Center, Jacobs Pillow, the Guggenheim Museum, creating a new role in the upcoming immersive show "The Fallen Saint" and most recently, composing and performing the live score accompaniment for the new play "The Historical Range of Ursus Americanus" at Columbia University made entirely with voice, body percussion and a kick drum on her loop pedal.

BARKIN/SELISSEN PROJECT presents Accidental Suite, a live ensemble work conceptualized by long-time collaborators Kyla Barkin and Aaron Selissen, set to an original score by Zac Selissen. An exploration of connection, Accidental Suite evokes chance encounters, remote impressions, near misses, and the magnetic push and pull of relationships. This striking expansion of the film from the "Titles Project" builds relational tension through increasing levels of contact and lush intertwining vignettes that tap into the most essential of human needs, connecting to one another!

TAI LEE is an artist living and working in Brooklyn, NY. As a musician, dancer and choreographer Lee has worked and performed all over the world and toured extensively with STOMP and the NYC art rock unit BODEGA.

CARLA KISSANE A cabaret of Shakespearean proportions. A maelstrom of archetypal ancestry, this irreverent mash-up of contemporary music and Shakespearean text follows the greatest of Shakespeare's heroines to their dramatic demise. Our contemporary role models are rock stars, but in Shakespeare's time the Queens were tweeting selfies just the same. Find out what happens when Shakespeare's misfortunate maidens are revealed through the music of Amy Winehouse, Rhianna, Florence + The Machine and then some... As Ophelia so deftly put it: 'Lord, we know what we are, but know not what we may be.'
