WANTING is a full length, dance theater collaboration between Lucia Gagliardone and Carol Langstaff.
WANTING builds a vision for a future filled with loving community and abundant resources. How can we use community to create structural change? How can we create structural change and also lean on individual connection?

Goodbye Party: the show, is a work of circus theater set in the offices of the going-out-of-business Earth, The Planet, LLC. As the corporation collapses, the multi-species staff congregate for a final farewell to the planet they call their office.

Hello VDA friends!
Come see the exciting work that ChoreoLab residents have been working on this past month at The Barn.
Join us for the world premiere of the full length work, while I was homegrowing. This movement quartet uses dance to explore a process of memory excavation during conversations with Lucia's father about his mother, who she never met, and seeks to unpack how her memory has become embodied in fabric and bones. The artists are enthralled with the process of recreating her in memories that we do not tangibly possess. The memory work unravels into a deep pool of ancestors, both living and past, that our bodies carries around; We ache to know these ancestors inside us, and honor them.
