Barnstorm Dance Festival (Program A)

(May 28 & 31 at 7:30 pm)

Join Dance Source Houston for Barnstorm Dance Fest 2024, happening May 28 – June 1 at Midtown Arts & Theatre Center Houston! Barnstorm showcases the vibrancy of dance in Houston and provides audiences with an exciting sampling of dance genres. The festival includes three unique programs, including 19 live performance works and 5 dance films by dancemakers from our city, region, and across the country. Highlighting the emerging and established dancemakers working in a wide range of styles and featuring festival newcomers and audience favorites, each program will be presented twice during the festival. Artist talks will also be presented following the performances on May 28, 29 & 30 to take audiences on a deeper dive into the creative process.

I am elated to perform in Loren Holmes’ debut of her original work I Said “No!” – a work diving into the physical, verbal, and mental abuse that women are subjected to when declining men’s advances. This work features triggering reenactments, stories of murder, and verbal abuse. Loren aims to bring more awareness to these stories as well as the vulnerability that women experience daily.

“Aureate” by The Pilot Dance Project

(June 22 & 23)

Aureate – “denoting, made of, or having the color of gold.” In their most decadent and lush

work to date, Castan͂eda and Horn delve into the imagination to mine the possibilities of gold

matter. With an inclination toward the Feminine Divine and the sanctity of human ritual and

ceremony, both choreographers create dances inspired by nature, womanhood, and

mythology.

Fun Fact: “Aureate” debuted at the Kansas City Fringe Festival back in 2022. It was a privilege to be a part of the initial group so imagine my excitement when I got invited to perform in the Houston debut show! Tickets are now available online for both dates!
