Somna invites audiences into the mysterious landscape of sleep — the place where the body rests but the mind continues to wander.
Through contemporary dance, this evening-length work explores the cycles of sleep, the surreal logic of dreams, and the emotional worlds that unfold when we surrender to rest. Movement shifts between the quiet stillness of drifting off, the vivid imagery of dreaming, and the restless transitions that carry us through the night.
Performed by the 8:20 Dance Company alongside a dynamic Apprentice Company of nine emerging artists, Somna weaves together layered choreography, atmospheric design, and intimate storytelling to illuminate what happens in the spaces between waking and dreaming.
At once haunting, beautiful, and deeply human, Somna invites audiences to reflect on the subconscious rhythms that shape our nights — and the dreams that linger when morning arrives.

Theater Elision Playhouse
Vigil invites audiences into the space beyond dreaming — the fragile return to consciousness where memory, emotion, and imagination linger long after sleep has ended.
Through contemporary dance, this evening-length work explores the act of remaining awake: holding onto what was revealed in the dark, confronting what rises to the surface in stillness, and discovering what it means to truly witness ourselves and one another. Movement shifts between moments of tension and release, clarity and uncertainty, as dancers navigate the emotional aftermath of the subconscious world.
Performed by the dancers of 8:20 Dance Company alongside invited guest choreographers and emerging artists, Vigil weaves together layered choreography, immersive atmosphere, and intimate storytelling to create an evening rooted in awareness, presence, and transformation.
At once cinematic, haunting, and deeply human, Vigil asks audiences to stay awake to the moments that shape us — and to consider what remains when the dreaming ends.
