Claudia Bauer

A figure stands silhouetted in the dull, greenish light of a parking garage. They lean forward, hair falling around their face as they look toward their shoes. They wear a backpack.

Mira Nadon poses against a white backdrop. She leans back on her hands as she sits on one shin with her downstage foot propped on pointe. Her expression is cool as she turns her face to the camera. She wears a dark green sleeveless unitard. Her dark hair is neatly pulled back in a high bun.

Eight women pose together in what seems to be an abandoned warehouse, each draped with silver or gold netting that variously covers their faces, necks, torsos, and/or legs. Closest to the camera, one woman leans back with her eyes closed, head carefully cradled in the hands of the woman sitting behind her. Another woman, features invisible beneath the mesh, reclines on a green block of fabric. The others pose further back, in pairs and solo, attitudes differing but all gazing intensely beyond the camera.

Brinda Guha, Amanda Castro, and Arielle Rosales are lit in pink and purple light as they perform as Soles of Duende at the front of a small stage, two seated percussionists and a guitarist visible behind them. Guha raises an arm to the sky as she looks intensely out at the audience. Castro looks focused as she taps, hands separated but poised to clap. Rosales opens her arms wide in invitation, chin ducked as she looks challengingly out at the audience.
