we're too young to write a memoir @ Thessaloniki Fringe Festival
Charly & Eriel grew up doing everything together. From dance to gymnastics to piano to being homeschooled, they were inseparable. And despite their 3-year age gap, they were constantly compared and contrasted. In "we're too young to write a memoir", their 18th duet, Charly & Eriel exploit their sister dynamic to equally humorous and reflective effects. A danced fusion of their linguistic, psychological, and theatrical research empowers them to explore their incontestable similarities and radical differences, together.


Movenglish Workshop
This movement workshop is rooted in the movement language research that Eriel and Charly have been developing over the past six years. Movenglish is a language-in-progress in which each English word’s embodied translation seeks to capture every facet of meaning, creating a bridge between language and movement. The workshop will be conducted in English, while also welcoming contributions in other languages. Depending on the participants’ level, Eriel and Charly may also share excerpts from their Movenglish-based repertory.

Expanding Community
Expanding Community is a collaborative show, at mignolo arts center in Metuchen, NJ, of artists spanning the east coast. This show is the fifth installment in the series, there previously has been two in NJ (July 2023, 2024) and two in Boston (February 2024, 2025). Geared at creating partnerships between different choreographers to expand their artistic community, Expanding Community seeks to grow how many artistic partnerships and connections we each have. The show is under the direction of Tess Saoirse Liddy, a Boston-based dancer and choreographer who discovered her choreographic voice in New Jersey at Drew University and therefore seeks to bring the two communities closer together. Expanding Community 5 will feature various artists, some returning to the Expanding Community series and some performing with us for the first time! As this show grows and repeats bi-annually, we have seen beautiful friendships, working relationships, and collaborations emerge between artists who would otherwise be kept apart by state lines and lack of connection - we welcome you to join the experience and immerse yourself in an evening of original dancemaking!

blOck it oUT @ International Microdance festival
The truth lies in the details—in the small gestures we make when everyone is watching. Not in what we say, but in what we leave unsaid. The macro unfolds, but the micro condenses—there, in the nuance barely caught by the eye, true sharing takes place.

blOck it oUT @ Crude Saturdays
Crude Saturdays at Tictac Art Centre
Open platform for spontaneous performance.
On the first and third Saturday of each month (mostly), Tictac’s big studio gets transformed into an open stage, welcoming artists of the performance arts (dance, circus, music, theater, etc.) to show their work. The performance evening is approx 1 hour long.
Charly’s solo, blOck it oUT, represents a challenge to stay focused on what's important in the face of relentless distractions and endless external information that constantly bombards us in the fast-paced modern world we live in. As soon as we get used to one tempo, another introduces itself, layering on top of what came before to create an ever-changing foundation for the rhythms of our life to sound and echo upon.

Self Help | PANOPTICON Jersey City
Self Help by mignolo dance explores mental health through the lens of a relationship between a therapist and patient using Movenglish® – a movement language in progress that directly corresponds to English. The translation of spoken conversations is complemented by fragmented and deconstructed phrases that represent what happens between the lines and inside the mind, embodying a ceaseless yet hopeful striving toward balance between thought and feeling, mind and body, self and other. @mignolodance
PANOPTICON by Vasiliki Papapostolou (a.k.a Tarantism) explores concepts of surveillance, discipline, and punishment. While the red hands of the performer are the ruler, the body represents the human spirit, the constant fight to preserve the human instinct and individual mind in a society where humans become increasingly mechanical, interested in objects, numbers, controlled outcomes and statistical rules. @tarantism___
