A GLIMPSE INTO PAST WORKS
Excerpts from The Collective’s June 2024 full evening premiere
History of The Collective:
The Moving ForwardCollective had its NYC debut at Arts on Site in May of 2022 with the expansion of Corrupt(ed) performed by Shadden Hashem and Runako Campbell.
Followed by their premiere, The Collective headed to Orsolina28 for a month long residency to expand Corrupt(ed) into an evening length work. With an original score by Azariah Felton, The Collective had its international debut in June of 2022.
In the Fall of 2022, The Collective premiered a new duet “re:time” at the ACE Hotel in Brooklyn presented by CreateArt.
In May of 2023, The Collective partnered with BODYSONNET for a split bill run of shows presented by Arts on Site
The Collective premiered it’s first full evening in June of 2024 at Peridance’s KnJ Theater where we premiered 5 brand new works, commissioned 3 composers, and collaborated with many artists including our lighting designer and costume designer.
