General Admission

Prolific dance artist George Stamos is known for his poetic, transdisciplinary creations. His career began as a solo artist and go-go dancer in New York City (1993&ndash;1999) before establishing himself in Montr&eacute;al, where, as a sought-after dancer, he has worked with prominent contemporary dance companies, including in seminal works by pioneering artists Zab Maboungou, Sara Shelton Mann and Benoit Lachambre. In 2022, his short film SNAP, Archie&#39;s Story, won the Overcome Film Festival&#39;s Best International Documentary Film Award. This Summer Series Show will feature George&#39;s new live solo piece, Shade, an exploration of &quot;shade&quot; through interconnected cultural, psychological, ecological, and somatic frameworks. As a performance-based inquiry, Shade evokes how shade functions simultaneously as protection, resistance, introspection, expression and metaphorical depth. Rooted in Black queer vernacular, the term &quot;shade&quot;&mdash;popularized in drag and ballroom culture&mdash;has evolved into a cultural code for survival, social critique, and subversion. In this solo, shade is examined not only as a performative stance but also as a way of knowing, surviving, and resisting through poetry, movement, costume and presence. This evening will also include screenings of George&#39;s short films SNAP Archie&#39;s Story, SNAP, Zab&#39;s Story, Syzygy, One Kind Favor and Potrero Hill. *This event includes a post show discussion with the artist
