We are investigating movements, imagery, and histories of protective animals in our respective Chinese and Japanese backgrounds.
What does incubation mean to you?
A protected place to grow and develop. Where all experimentation (silly, fruitful, dead-end, dada, you name it) is possible.
I will explore the friction between the artist as a mediator and the audience as the medium in the context of live documentation.
What does incubation mean to you?
For me, incubation is the phase/moment of introspection and exploration before an epiphany or catharsis.
Nikki Theroux, Tamara Leigh, Kimie Parker, Hillary Bonhomme. Wldflwr Dance Collective, directed by Tamara Leigh and Nikki Theroux, works towards multidisciplinary and inclusive art-making. Wldflwr has been in residence at Dragon’s Egg in CT, beginning the creative process for “the last to bloom,” the collective’s debut evening-length which premiered at The Tank NYC in 2021. In 2022, they were Artists in Residence at MOtiVE Brooklyn where they began creating “Permanence.”
I’m working with my musical collaborator Alia Scheirman to develop performance environments that allow for a live and mechanically visible integration of movement and sound, making use of everyday objects, looping technology, live drawings, and more.
What does incubation mean to you?
I can be very literal sometimes, so I think about incubating an idea like an egg. Sometimes, you’re not entirely sure what’s gonna hatch from it and when – nor can you really control these things – but you decide to give it your time, care, and energy regardless, dedicating yourself to whatever beautiful or monstrous being might emerge.
The work I will be focusing on in my time at the incubation program will consist of a video project in collaboration with Kyle Carrero Lopez. I will be performing movements, dances, and gestures with Kyle writing poetry in response. It will be a conversion of poetry in dance to poetry in word.
What does the unknown mean to you?
The unknown is both freedom and what we anticipate to be dangerous. I think it stems from the fact that too much freedom can be scary, even deadly.
I am dancing with emotions and trance states, hovering within the intensities they share. I will be premiering a trio at the Chocolate Factory Theater this April 2022 and am also working on a solo premiering in 2023.
What does the unknown mean to you?
The unknown is space for alternative constellations of feeling.
Tyrone is deepening a practice geared towards emotional intelligence through the use of the queer diasporic dance form known as punking.
What does incubation mean to you?
A time for space, play, deep listening and development.

From 1996-2006, the gallery at CAVE showed the work of over 300 artists becoming a locus for experimentation in all mediums. CAVE Gallery began as a venture of Shige Moriya and a group of artists in the mid-90’s. Fostered from an industrial rental, they transformed the 3,000 sq ft garage into a live-work space, which was considered to be one of the first recognized galleries of the neighborhood. Away from heavy commercial pressure, in an environment that supported exploration, artists were able to present ‘nakedly’ by offering completed and in-progress works and receiving feedback from peers. In addition to studio arts, openings often included music and other kinds of performances.

From 1996-2006, the gallery at CAVE showed the work of over 300 artists becoming a locus for experimentation in all mediums. CAVE Gallery began as a venture of Shige Moriya and a group of artists in the mid-90’s. Fostered from an industrial rental, they transformed the 3,000 sq ft garage into a live-work space, which was considered to be one of the first recognized galleries of the neighborhood. Away from heavy commercial pressure, in an environment that supported exploration, artists were able to present ‘nakedly’ by offering completed and in-progress works and receiving feedback from peers. In addition to studio arts, openings often included music and other kinds of performances.

From 1996-2006, the gallery at CAVE showed the work of over 300 artists becoming a locus for experimentation in all mediums. CAVE Gallery began as a venture of Shige Moriya and a group of artists in the mid-90’s. Fostered from an industrial rental, they transformed the 3,000 sq ft garage into a live-work space, which was considered to be one of the first recognized galleries of the neighborhood. Away from heavy commercial pressure, in an environment that supported exploration, artists were able to present ‘nakedly’ by offering completed and in-progress works and receiving feedback from peers. In addition to studio arts, openings often included music and other kinds of performances.
