SPLIT BILL: Olana Flynn // Madison Palffy
SPLIT BILL: an evening of new works by Olana Flynn and Madison Palffy
April 26, 2025
Doors 7pm/ Show 7:30pm
LOCULUS Studios - 80 Race Street, Holyoke MA
Over the past number of months we have each been working on new projects which will be presented at the end of this month in a split-bill studio showing. Olana has been working with Katherine Kain and Evelyn Kirby, building upon her recent solo investigations into sound and movement to develop a duet investigating resonance, memory, and proximal vibration. Madison has been working with Maghan Baptiste, Sonya Marx, and Mara Poliak--together they have been cultivating a series of practices/scores that disorient and dis-locate objects, beings, and bodies to generate new meanings and possibilities.

Night Moves with special guest Rosie Borden
An open level dance class: learning simple moves, getting sweaty, having fun. (Think Jazzercise, zumba, line dancing…) You can expect: a guided warm up, loose structures to generate heat while exploring rhythm and flow, and some fun low pressure choreography. After the class comes to a close, the evening will enter .... an open dance opportunity to the music of local pop icon Rosie Borden

MUSIC AT THE MANTON: XIMENA BEDOYA AND LOCULUS DANCE COLLECTIVE
Ximena Bedoya, an interdisciplinary artist and designer from Perú currently based in New York, explores transitional states of mind, body, and space through audiovisual experiences. Bedoya’s work teaches viewers to embrace life's fluctuating moments, following discomfort with inquiry alongside inevitability and absurdity. Bedoya is half of Lobby Art Editions, a record and cassette label with roots in Western Massachusetts. She received an MFA in Applied Craft & Design from the Pacific Northwest College of Art in Portland.
Dance collective LOCULUS opens. Founded in 2015 in Western Massachusetts by Five College Dance alumni Olana Flynn and Madison Palffy, LOCULUS' performances are site-specific and rooted in engagement with DIY artist communities, often taking place in bars, yards, and houses.
Free. Accessible seats available; for information, call 413 458 0524. This program is presented in collaboration with Belltower Records, North Adams, Massachusetts.

Residency/Performance: "Long & Wild"
"Long & Wild" is an experimental, durational dance performance that creates a queer context for an intimate togetherness in different changing worlds: grief, transformation and love intersect. The piece is part choreography, part party, part funeral, and part community talk. What if a dance performance was at the same time a journey through time, a community, a living space or a ritual that promotes the togetherness of audience and performers? Long & Wild aims to be an irrepressible overload of pleasure and critical inquiry that stretches and challenges dominant notions of violence, caring, pleasure, play and gender.
