MIXed + Momentum
November 21 and 22
Due to recent weather events, we’ve had to postpone our outreach dance event, the Momentum Choreographers Showcase, featuring the 2024 Momentum Artist cohort. In true projectALCHEMY spirit of adaptation and transformation, we've reimagined the showcase and combined it with MIXed, our new works event spotlighting the latest creations by our company artists.
Join us for MIXed + Momentum on November 21 & 22 at 7:30 PM at Savant on Second for an evening of immersive dance featuring Alyssa Braud, Rya DeMulder, Nicolás Andrés Rodríguez Cruz, Olivia Schmiedeke, Heidi Brewer, Talia Demps, Sam Kedziora, Emily Curry and Kirsten Standridge. Choreographers will fill every inch of the space, from intimate personal stories to works unfolding throughout the night, taking you on a transformative journey.
The event runs about 1 hour and 45 minutes, including an intermission and a brief meet-and-greet reception with the artists.

With Love,
March 27-29
“When we love we can let our hearts speak.” —Bell Hooks
Originally premiering at The Studio@620 in March 2017 with Collective Soles Dance Company, With Love, was Alexander Jones’ personal love letter—an expression of hope for his young nephew’s future in a world divided.
Now, projectALCHEMY breathes new life into this work in collaboration with Bob Devin Jones, reflecting on the distance and similarities between then and now. Through movement, we explore love in its many forms—care, affection, recognition, respect, commitment, trust, and open communication.
This immersive, in-the-round experience invites audiences to engage with the performance in a personal and thought-provoking way. Following the show, stay for open conservation about the work and its messaging with our company artists and the creative team.
Why is love something we must fight for every day? And could that fight, in itself, be a radical act?
Come be a part of the conversation. Experience With Love,.
