Nincompoopiana, a new dance and puppetry piece by Carla Barragán, weaves real and made-up scenarios in which the five larger than life puppets portray archetypes that seemingly don't get along, but realize they do need each other to survive. Dancers: Amanda Herman, Laura Aschoff, Elizabeth Anne Jacobson, Rachel Grant and Diana Garcia-Snyder. Original sketches for puppets by Paula Barragán, puppets by Carla Barragán, and original music by Nelson García.
Lola, the latest butoh inspired solo work by Diana Garcia-Snyder commissioned by BQDanza, brings to life the amazing work and vision of visual artist Paula Barragán, “a pillow that would be more than just a pillow… comprehensive, sympathetic, particularly when loneliness and regrets float in darkness” an extension of the physical and emotional body. In Spanish, Lola is the short for Dolores, which means grief and pain, “however Lola reflects the joy of life and dreams”
