Reify is a live collision between movement and technology, with dancers and sound artists working alongside coders and designers in real time rather than performing finished work. The Arts Lab format tends to blur the line between audience and participant, so expect something messier and more interesting than a conventional showcase. Check the Eventbrite listing...
This is a live collision of choreography, interactive tech, and sound design built around the idea that movement can be computed, captured, and fed back into itself. The Arts Lab draws from UNM's interdisciplinary programs, so expect work that is genuinely in-progress and genuinely weird, which is a compliment. Tickets are on Eventbrite but the...
KodaStar Entertainment takes over The Lab for a late-night event running 10 PM to 4 AM, which puts last call well past most of Central Avenue's usual crowd.

A Liminal 77 Production brings Platonic Ideal to The Box Annex, the smaller, more interior room tucked behind the main Box Performance Space on Central. The Annex tends to run close and loud, so if you want breathing room you go early. Tickets are through Hold My Ticket, which means no surprises at the door...
This is long-form improv, which means no sketch scripts, no safety net, just a ensemble building a full narrative arc in real time from an audience suggestion. The Box is...
