THAT SHOW is a community gathering and showcase of early career performance artists. The evening is meant to build community within and beyond the New York City performance art scene— connecting movement, sound, and theater artists to each other and their audiences. We embrace a messy, do-it-yourself, community centered model to present several short works in one evening, followed by a DJ set and after-party.

Doors open at 6:30pm and performances start at 7:00. Dancing and mingling will follow. Refreshments will be available by donation. Follow us on IG @thatshownyc.

• 6:30–7:00PM: Reception, cash bar
• 7:00–8:30: Seven works by NY based artists
• 8:30–10:00PM: Cash bar, sound by DJ Peet the Scholar

Kayla White (she/her) and Taylor Schmuelgen (she/her) are Brooklyn based movement artists, producers, and friends. They find great pleasure in cultivating spaces for artists (particularly early career performance makers) to share their work. Curious about where performance belongs and what it can do for people, they place dances in unconventional spaces and invite anyone and everyone to witness it. Their shared passions include but are not limited to – going on a long walk every Friday, framing first dates as an artistic practice, and enjoying an early morning coffee on the couch. You can usually find Kayla teaching Pilates somewhere in Brooklyn, staring deeply into her cat’s eyes, or sourcing the perfect ham and cheese croissant. Taylor is entirely too serious about the coffee she’s drinking and spends most days working in development at The Kitchen, one of NYC’s oldest experimental art centers.

Taylor (she/her) brags heavily about her upbringing in Austin, Texas, while Kayla will remind anyone that will listen that she prefers Austin to her own hometown of Dallas. They both enjoy a cold Lonestar beer and daydream about jumping into a central Texas lake on a hot day. Both hold a BFA in Dance Performance and Choreography from the University of Texas at Austin, where they became friends, made a lot of dances, and found themselves responsible for co-producing shows for the first time. It was here that they developed a deep interest in creating financially sustainable, collaborative, celebratory, and community-focused opportunities for cohorts of early-career artists to present their work.
