Isabella Thorpe-Woods presents "Envelop/e," her second program as ISSUE’s 2026 Suzanne Fiol Curatorial Fellow. Bringing together choreographers Jade Manns and Ella Dawn W-S for site-specific duets, they navigate presence and absence, repetition and rupture, and the tension between inherited geometries and shifting landscapes.
"Spiriting Off" is a new solo work by luthier Webb Crawford (2026 AIR) for electric guitar, tenor banjo, and five-string banjo.
ISSUE closes the summer season with the return of Matana Roberts (2009 AIR). Opening the evening, Ben Vida (2013 AIR) will perform music from his 2026 release, "Oblivion Seekers" with vocalist Sara Magenheimer.
The musical meeting of these two musicians suggests amazing ‘paysages sonores’ (soundscapes), sharp, intricate, at times tranquil, at others vigorous and spirited.
From the archives, with Tarantula, Charlotte Hug, Chantale Laplante, EJ Rodriguez, Marc Ribot, Elliott Sharp, Rebecca Moore, Fred Rogers tribute, and Carl Maguire.
