flights for future generations draws from the history of women aviators and spiritualists. Interweaving stories of flight with mysterious encounters, the performance layers movement, text, sound, and imagery with analog devices to explore our longing for the cosmos. Archives, dances, and confessions arise, all supported by a cassette player’s mixtape. As lo-fi intimacy collides with a seance-lecture, flights for future generations navigates our fragile course between faith and uncertainty.
My great-grandmother’s pocket knife, big bird, a locked suitcase and a flight suit, a lone astronaut, a cassette tape spinning a transmission.
A 20 minute iteration of flights for future generations premiered on June 8, 2025 at Abrons Art Center in New York City, as part of New Dance Alliance’s 39th Mix Performance Festival.
