The Vanishing is a new work created by Claudia Anata Hubiak exploring the intricate relationship between time, aging, and identity. Through a deeply personal lens, the choreography reflects on the moments of endings and beginnings—paying homage to the dancers coming to the end of a career, the mothers who lose themselves in the journey of parenthood and to the older generations who often fade into the background. The Vanishing celebrates the beauty of the aging process, identifies the speed of the world ushering us forward in the rush to accomplish and reminds us to move gracefully through time without fading away.

Before We Turned To Stone portrays the manifestation of mind chatter and how enticing it can be to stay busy, avoid the stillness and believe our thoughts.

Before we turn to Stone
Fear the Silence
The words drip off your tongue
The thoughts ongoing
Encouraging your belief
Fear the Quiet
The incessant beat
Keeping you safe from the waiting void
Fear the Stillness
Motion as our keeper
Before we turn to stone
If we don’t stop
Never stop never rest never slow
Does it mean we exist
