This week at CAVE! - absolutearts.com

Dear Friends,
Our season has officially started! We had an amazing launch party for conectom and worked out our first-timer nerves with the AcTS and workshop of Maximilian Balduzzi, one of our Black Studio Residents. He was a great sport! (It isn't easy to be the first!) Now this week we prepare to welcome LEIMAY's guest teacher and long time friend Moeno Wakamatsu.

A few weeks ago we held auditions for LEIMAY to build our company for the big BAM project we have underway. Wow! Big thank yous to all the dancers and performers who participated the auditions! What a joy to know that so many great people want to be part of our work! This fills our spirit tremendously and gives us so much power to continue making work. We will be announcing our new team for this project in an upcoming newsletter along with our new Black Studio Residents and CAVE Lodgers. Also big thanks to BAM's fellows Leslie Roybal and Rujeko Dumbutshena for their support during this process.

Summer European tour experience:

We returned from Europe little more than a month ago!!! We had a great time and we worked A LOT! We were included in Robert Wilson's new piece Franz Liszt Via Crucis presented in Germany as part of the Kunsfest Weimar. LEIMAY had an installation piece as well as Shige's video work as part of the main stage. It was a very valuable experience for us and we came back inspired, refreshed and ready to hit the ground running! We like to share photos from our time in Europe- in case you are curious.

Check out the art work, some fun moments and gorgeous architecture!
