Current Collaborator: The Circular
April 12 to June 1, 2025
The Circular is a performance-based event series of compact, low-cost programming that explores live-ness, public interests, and social stuff.
Like a living magazine, the Circular whips up arts situations and “silly” forms through collaboration and mediation. We are interested in research, discussion, and stylization and we take it from there.
