Ecotone

Curated by Andrew Hook, Justin Kelly, and 2018 KST Freshworks Fellows Gladstone Butler & Samir Gangwani

An ecotone is a transitional area between two biomes; a site where two communities meet and integrate. Ecotones are spaces where a diversity of life can flourish, with much higher biodiversity than surrounding areas.

ECOTONE brings together artists from different disciplines for experimental performance presentations. Two curated trios of artists work together for two weeks to inform their presentation. Following the presentations, the audience and performers celebrate community through the simple ritual of a dance party.

ECOTONE featured artists Ben Opie, Sadie Shoaf, Ariel Xiu, David Bernabo, Max Gonzales, Abigail Lis-Perlis and DJ Sauce Queen.

ECOTONE was supported in part by and premiered at the Kelly Strayhorn Theater.
