In the wake of Jess Curtis’ transition, we present Beyond Gravity, new live works developed by artists Jess chose to fiscally sponsor and mentor over the last few years of his life. Beyond Gravity features two programs: Program A, with Aiano Nakagawa and Gabriele Christian and Program B, Abby Crain and Rachael Dichter, all evaluating the fragile terms of our relationships with lovers, family members, and intimate friends through stage. Ephemeral lives call for ephemeral art.
