The World is Choreography conversations with David

COVID-Calls is happening tonight!

We’ve formed new partnerships to save our building and share it in a network of mutual support with other artists. We’ve redesigned HPI to respond to the public-health and artistic demands of this time. We’ve set up digital and textile design centers so that we will be ready to support independent performance designers as soon as co-working becomes possible again, and we’re making art. https://conta.cc/3mHNZ1b We are grateful to still be here, and WE NEED YOUR HELP. Please D...ONATE if you’re able. https://conta.cc/3mHNZ1b SHARE if you can. READ if you have some time (or you're trying to extend that lunch break). See more

Don't miss HPI alum Magdalene San Millan's The Cock Painter: Movie Night! The Cock Painter is an ode to your bodily stench. Have you ever wondered if an anus smells like outer space? Do you enjoy using a dildo for a purpose it wasn’t intended for? Do you still like classical art? Are you a professional or domestic wiper of asses? Then this show is right up your alleyhole.... Magda is Mary Poppins meets Marina Abramovic in this one-body comedy show disguised as a studio visit. She connects her life-size drawings of men being devoured by their own penises to stories of human stink, sadness, and the morality of wiping someone else's genitals. Trumpeting, dildo, and dancing included.

This Saturday, April 20th Misty Sol is in the building! "This performance installation is a study of pairs: public and private, wellness and distress, word and image, scent and sound, the self and the familial, process and product. It’s an experiment in projecting interior experience onto exterior spaces..." Misty Sol Get tickets https://conta.cc/2Xf4SDo
