Motherless Child
- Choreographer: Eric Bean
- Country: United States
- Dance Company: Jaricco Dance
- Description: This work explores the emotional struggles and fears felt by many growing up as a young queer male identifying person of color in America. The constant exposure to violence, fear of incarceration, and toxic masculinity for many creates a ever present sense of danger that continuously triggers ones natural instincts to run. Whether running from fear or in search of some form of connection or acceptance, the action ultimately leads to the same place. Utter physical, mental, and emotional exhaustion and longing for a place to not feel so alone.

JAUNT (a wearisome journey)
- Choreographer: We are a duo called JTP so we will include both of our names. Name 1- Camille | Name 2 - Stella Name 1 - Tokar Pavliska | Name 2 - Jacobs
- Country: United States
- Dance Company: JTP
- Description: JAUNT first stemmed from the idea of a group on a continuous path of migration. We wanted to play with the trajectory and struggle of the dancers trying to reach their final destination. When choreographing, we wanted to represent this with a clump of dancers moving throughout the stage, never a moment of stillness. Dancers break off and come and go but some resemblance of the clump remains.
