An improvised performance by Ishmael Houston-Jones (NY) and Keith Hennessy (SF) with live sound by jose e. abad

Ishmael and Keith first collaborated in the mid-90s and have continued for 25 years a deep conversation about art, collaboration, improvisation, race, activism, sex, dance, history and futures. When they dance together, the conversation and research continues. Sometimes we fight, but there is always love. There will be questions, there will be answers, and much of the rest is unknown…

Keith and jose have been in collaboration on multiple performance, curation, and teaching projects since 2016 and together have worked with Ishmael in the TRY project since 2020. Our relationships to each other, to performing improvisation, and to the worlds around us are the content of the work.
