Stacy Grossfield Dance Projects premieres hot dark matter, a work made specifically for JACK's architecture, with the choreographer and her collaborators molding the performance space into a murky, surreal dreamscape. The piece is a multi-sensory experience a dreamlike atmosphere in which dancers and other beings are seen as apparitions, while the audiences sense of smell and touch are activated.

Scientifically, hot dark matter is a form of dark matter which consists of particles that travel with ultra-relativistic velocities (traveling near the speed of light). Stacy Grossfield: "I became interested in the hot dark matter theory after reading and trying to imagine what it could look like in a theatrical sense. Energetically, I decided to go the opposite route and explore what I believed it could look and feel like if slowed down."

This full-length performance for an intimate audience will feature performers Tuva Hildebrand, Stacy Grossfield, Rebecca Warner, with Kadence Neill and six more surprise performers.
