Ithaca! Today kicks off this week’s residency with the wonderful . Please join us this evening for 𝑯𝒐𝒎𝒆𝑩𝒐𝒅𝒚: 𝑰’𝒎 𝑺𝒕𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝑯𝒆𝒓𝒆, a performance-lecture that will take place from 5:00pm to 6:00pm at the Schwartz Center for the Performing Arts, SB10 Theater.

𝑯𝒐𝒎𝒆𝑩𝒐𝒅𝒚 moves through episodes in 𝑰𝒏𝒈𝒓𝒊𝒅 𝑲𝒂𝒑𝒕𝒆𝒚𝒏’s career as an international performer and creator in dance-theater, honoring the body as refuge—a site for grounding, connection, and direction amid the onslaught of contemporary life.

As an international freelance performer whose work has taken her from Off-Broadway stages in New York City to the five-floor hotel housing the hit immersive production Sleep No More in Shanghai, Ingrid approaches movement—body language—as a profoundly universal and unifying means of communication. Drawing from her dance-theater company’s dystopian world-building, her ancestral research in collaboration with Assistant Professor of the Practice Danielle Russo, and the somatic principles that ground her physical practice, she frames bodily awareness as a pathway to accessing memory, inscribed history, and future possibility.

This event is part of 𝑫𝑨𝑵𝑪𝑰𝑵𝑮 𝑯𝑶𝑴𝑬/𝑳𝑨𝑵𝑫, a yearlong series of live performances and activations, guest artist residencies and symposia, and extra/curricular experiences that engages dance and performance artists, students, and communities in dialogue around memory, migration, and place—and where fantasy can serve as a site for reworlding belonging and futurity. In collaboration with PMA Senior Lecturer Theo Black.
