Richard Lee presents The Winter Arc, a duet for 150 pounds of sand and 150 pounds of man. What happens when you combine the strongman practice of heavy sandbag lifting with release-based postmodern dance? Through overlapping and contrasting modes of muscularity, this work grapples with physical and psychological narratives related to acts of lifting, carrying, and releasing weight.

Cai Glover (Montreal) presents Oh Mother, oh brother
We become ourselves from within the influential presence of the people who surround us. There are dear and beloved figures inextricable from the make-up of our individuality, from the make-up of our conception of what love is. Sometimes this is wonderful. Sometimes this is terrible.
