Uncover illuminating potentials in the things that surround us.

Found in Translation is an interactive performance in which small objects are translated into movement, drawing, and poetry through a series of playful transformations. Audience members are invited to join with performers to uncover illuminating potentials in the things that surround us.

Found in Translation is an interactive performance that transforms small objects into movement, drawing, and poetry through a kind of artistic “assembly line.” Six performers take part at a time, rotating through all of the roles: hosting, describing, drawing, dancing, typing poems, and reading them aloud. Crucially, the “machine” is always activated by audience participation. An audience member begins each round by arranging objects, and at the end of the cycle, they receive the poem that was generated and read out specifically for them – an artistic “gift” created through the collective process.

Drop in anytime between 4pm and 6:15pm.
