What happens when control slips? When readiness becomes entrapment? When protection becomes performance? If defense becomes instinct, is there room for vulnerability?
Fawn, Breach examines the mechanics of shields across three interconnected works. The film installation, housed in the lobby, offers a fragmented glimpse into states of shielding and exposure. Fawn, a self-choreographed solo, explores the complexities of an endless cycle of appeasement as reflex, ritual, and surrender. Breach, a group work, challenges the protective mechanisms we use to navigate our connections with ourselves and others. Together, these pieces explore the idea that even when we are wearing armor, parts of us still long to be seen, to be touched, to be open.

MORPH, created by two good friends, explores the ways in which people who spend significant time together adopt the traits of those around them, both on an interpersonal level and a societal level. In MORPH, we search for the fine line between companionship, community, and loss of the self.
