Zack Fuller has performed throughout Europe, Japan, and the U.S. in works by the renowned dancer/farmer Min Tanaka, including the U.S. tour of Poe Project and the European tour of the Goya series. His own work has been presented by CAVE’s New York Butoh Festival, Plan B in Tokyo, The Dance Hakushu Festival, Mobius in Boston, Movement Research at Judson Church, and elsewhere. His dance has been described by the Boston Globe as “Cryptic… but characterized by astonishing theatricality,” and “Like an angel coming down Jacob’s ladder to play in the garbage” by the Japanese dance critic Hidenaga Otori.

Cate McNider‘s work has been called “a dialogue with invisible forces.” Her work is researched and expressed through improvisation. She graduated from ACAT in 2016 with an Alexander Technique teacher certificate to top off decades of explorations in bodywork, movement and patterning. This piece called ‘Body-Mind Cafe’ integrates her poetic and visual work in a mixed media presentation. Many thanks to Dixon Place and Marcia Monroe for this opportunity to humbly step onto the stage again.
