Eva Schmidt is a visual and movement-based artist living and working in New York City. In 2006 she graduated from Bennington College with BA degrees in interdisciplinary art and dance/performance. She currently works as a studio assistant for artist Jeff Koons. Schmidt has shown her work within Movement Research Open Performance, AUNTS, at Bennington College and in Dancespace Project’s Out Of Space curated by Ishmael Houston-Jones. Eva’s dance is influenced by her curiosity and desire to experience a full range of movement along the dance spectrum as well as her investigation of improvisational techniques. Eva has worked with choreographers Cori Olinghouse, Paul Matteson and Katie Martin.

Roxanne Lola has been presented by Movement Research at the Judson Church, Dance New Amsterdam, AUNTS, the West End Theater and Triskelion Arts. Anne was a 2007 Choreographer’s Project Fellow at Summer Stages Dance and a 2009 Brooklyn Arts Council re-grant recipient.
PARTICIPATING ARTISTS TBA
AUNTS is readymade!!! Like loft parties, birthdays and DIY punk shows, AUNTS events occur in ad-hoc, domestic, out-of-doors, the theater and found spaces. AUNTS events are rigorous; dancers dance, collaborate and socialize with each other, amateurs, guests, the space, the walls, energy flow, non-dancers and non-humans. Conventional audience/performer configurations abound inside a structure of rules and traditions of performance that are completely decimated. The audience is boyfriends and lesbians and the dancers. Dance as liberation against art, regulation, commericalism and itself and those who practice it!
