WHAT IT'S LIKE
created and performed by Aviva & Molly R-W, and Del Medoff
It's eye smiles, computer eyes, and hugging friends
with new eyes.
It's houses full of time we used to spend in public places.
It's the smell of mask-breath for your nose alone.
It's accidentally brushing a stranger's pinky...
It's finding things you never missed
and missing things you never named.
It's moving along despite it all. All of it.
Presented:
Strawberry Creek Park, Berkeley CA (Aug-Sep 2020)
Longing
dancing by Aviva & Molly R-W
production/direction by Martin Legarrigues
May you meet your tattered twin.
May you never forget her perfume,
his laugh, their genius glee.

We Are All Friends
created and performed by Molly R-W (in progress)*
A 50-minute solo show exploring the ecstasy, heartbreak, confusion, absurdity, and ineffability of love and relationships through a blend of full-bodied movement, spoken-word poetry, and physical theater. In particular, it examines the uniquely labyrinthine landscape of queer love in which a few of us are lovers, many of us are exes, and all of us are friends. At least, we're trying to be.

MIND THE GAP
Between communication and understanding lies a vast, sometimes hilarious, at times perilous, uniquely indescribable abyss. Join the intimate journey of two twins exploring the gap between them. We stretch the limits of our uncommon understanding, grasping for the words in every language available - singing, dancing, flipping, climbing, rolling, and pitching ourselves ever onward towards an increasingly elusive clarity. What results is, well, hard to explain. 50 minutes. For audiences of all ages.

SOCIAL MOVEMENT
created and performed by Molly R-W with Chelsea Brown, Galen Rogers, Ky Woodward & Jesse Wiener
An evening of moving targets, hand signals, hope, and human pyramids. Loud, weird, fast, funny, slow, and tender. Join us as we sift through the trials of group action and explore the power of the collective imagination. 50 minutes.

Side By Side
Two people careen through life side-by-side, always moving, always together. This piece explores a relationship too thick to be broken moving through terrain too tough to take pause. A physical exploration of isolation, companionship, navigation, and distance in love, it requires continuous movement but never travels. Before long, it looks deeply at fatigue.
