Walls to Bounce Glances

DXARTS Professor, Laura Luna Castillo, in collaboration with Anaid Mendoza Marquez Bohor, Agatha Simunovic, and Matenin Sangare, will be performing a piece at On the Boards' 2025 NW New Works Festival (Studio Program) June 12-14, 2025.

Walls to Bounce Glances merges oral culture as embodied practice and latinx virtualities to reclaim social and technological imaginaries. The domestic is staged and augmented as an ambivalent and fragmented archive that exists between immigration and otherness, the inhospitable and the familiar, all unfolding halfway across mirages of the present and future.

NW New Works returns by popular demand to showcase the most daring, cutting-edge performances in our region once again!

Since 1983, this festival has been a touchstone for contemporary artists across performance disciplines, providing a vital platform for experimentation and cross-pollination and celebrating the dynamic arts community of the Pacific Northwest.

Curated by Kemi Adeyemi, Roya Amirsoleymani, and Fox Whitney, these eight artists were selected from more than 85 highly competitive proposals we received in Fall 2024. The curators focused on artists with compelling visions and innovative creative practices that enrich the fabric of Northwest performance. We owe them immense gratitude for their time, vision, and dedication to this process.

The return of NWNW is made possible through generous support by the Raynier Foundation, John C. Robinson, and Norie Sato & Ralph Berry.
