CROSSROADS (CROSSWINDS, CROSSCURRENTS, CROSSFIRES) Performance + art + poetry + music + dance + food + community. A curated series presented by Pioneers Go East Collective. Crossroads Series features artists who explore new genres and known performance and art-making modes to share their creative practices with other artists and their audiences. Each evening we witness different generations of artists dealing with actual, day-to-day, contemporary challenges to further discussion between artists and to activate a network of exchange and inclusion with social and artistic intervention.

if the present form reveals the missing by Lu Yim.

Project: if the present form reveals the missing - the process is about bringing phenomena to form: refiguring embodiment when out of my body, considering friendship to be the choreographer, dancing for the dead. the form is the means necessary.

Gray Areas by Allie Hankins Project: Drawing on recent shifts of focus, interruptions, and experimentations, Allie will present some kind of collage of her musings on the words ‘trace’, ‘transparency’, and ‘control’, the writings of Beatriz Colomina, the houses of Eileen Gray, and faces: a house’s face, Allie’s own face, your face, your face as her face, and facing it.

Allie Hankins is an artist based in Portland who most recently performed in a dream wherein she announced "Today I am Truit" before jumping into a pool. The next day in waking life she learned that 'truit' is a word used by the lucid dreaming community to mean 'trout'
