sugar vendil/isogram’s showcase will take place in-person on Saturday, January 11 from 1:45pm-2:05pm at New York City Center Studios (Studio 5).

Antonym: the opposite of nostalgia is a memoir of a Filipinx American childhood that interweaves chamber music, dance, and nonlinear theater, excavating insignificant but deeply ingrained memories. Using field recordings of NYC, the four seasons serve as a cyclical frame and context for memory.

We are thrilled to have Mei Ann Tea joining our team as Director!
