The 2026 Residency season is upon us and our first artists are arriving- dance artists Rosie DeAngelo, Nate Buchsbaum are sharing their residency time with recent Bates grad Lola Buczkowski. Leaning on a shared background of improvisation and partnering, Rosie and Nate’s work uses absurdism in the context of dance theater. They will be choreographing in various locations around the Subcircle premises in preparation for a site-specific performance in 2027.
Lola Buczkowski is a movement artist concerned with disrupting a contained notion of self. Through improvisation, site-specific exploration, and authentic movement practice, Lola seeks to entangle her dancing body with the living world to discover interspecific expressions of being. Currently Lola’s attention bends toward duration, presence, and geologic states.

We’re thrilled to welcome choreographer Cameron McKinney and his NYC-based repertory company Kizuna Dance. Next Tuesday, October 14th at 7pm, theywill present excerpts of their new work-in-progress, BREAD AND CIRCUS. Inspired by the surreal progression of dreams and the fantastical work of Japanese filmmaker Seijun Suzuki – which can veer from familiar yet uncanny beginnings to vibrant, chaotic depths – the work explores the paradox of boundless imagination constrained by individual perspective through a movement language that blends streetdance styles, capoeira, and contemporary floorwork. These short excerpts of the work will be performed by Emily Aslin, Rachel Calabrese, and Eric Blovits. Please rsvp by dm or email to info@subcircle.org if you’d like to attend! Space is limited!

We are so happy to welcome Mawu Ama Ma’at Gora and collaborators to spend 10 days developing their new solo work.
In De Back of God’s Eyes is a memory-weaver’s meditation on ancestry, lineage and inheritance. The work questions how we are born into the world and how our inheritance shapes our present reality—incongruently mapped using our eldest technologies movement, ritual and transcendence. We invite you to join us for a work in progress showing on Tuesday, September 30th at 7pm. Please rsvp as space is limited by dm or email info@subcircle.org

Mawu Ama Ma’at Gora is a black, queer, Caribbean artist and Brooklyn native currently residing in Philadelphia. As a multimodal artist they explore movement, textile art, history and science fiction as recipes for their performance art. As an educator they are a community organizer, a gatherer and a guide. They divine in the classroom and find pleasure in the unknown. As a deep listener and neurodivergent human being they are led by curiosities on life, love, grief, the made up and the absurd. Their work is ritual, cathartic, raw and unconcerned with beauty, but sometimes beautiful.
