Alessandra Corona Performing Works

presents three new works by:

Alessandra Corona
Wesley Ensminger
Miguel Miranda
in collaboration with the Company

Chew
Choreographed by: Madeline Burr
in collaboration with the Company
Synopsis: “Chew” unravels labels and appearances, moving between a tightly held sense of self and complete disintegration. What happens when repetition tips into chaos — when rage, humor, or exhaustion break through the surface? In this cycle of being built up and torn down, the dancers invite you into a space where identity is consumed, dismantled, and reshaped again and again.
Music: “All This I do for Glory” Colin Stetson, “Spindrift” Colin Stetson, “Morning Talk / Supersymmetry” Arcade Fire & Owen Pallett

Kawsay
Choreographed by Miguel Miranda 
in collaboration with the Company
Rooted in a folkloric sensibility and shaped by a cinematic gaze, Kawsay unfolds as a sequence of shifting images. The ensemble finds its center through rhythm and physical intensity within a landscape of constant transformation—always moving toward what is about to emerge.

Music: Rush Carson

Hold, Hinder
Choreographed by Wesley Ensminger
in collaboration with the Company
“Hold, Hinder” explores the ever-shifting nature of human connection—what we hold onto, what fades, and what lingers. Tracing moments across past and present, the work captures the fleeting intersections that shape memory and meaning.

Music Composition by Wesley Ensminger
Tracks by Johann Johannsson and Yair Elazar Glotman, Giants Zilbalodis and Rihards Zalupe, Nate Archer, The Caretaker, and Vera Lynn.

Unexpected Gift
Choreographed by Alessandra Corona
in collaboration with the Company
"Unexpected Gift" is a deeply moving work that uses the physical language of the body to navigate the non-linear journey of grief and the human capacity for resilience. The piece suggests that healing and comfort exist as an internal gift within each of us.

Original music by Thomas Lentakis
Music by Ran Bagno
