Come See Me in the Good Light

Come See Me in the Good Light

Come See Me in the Good Light is a community held celebration of Andrea Gibson—their poems, their courage, and the way their words have carried so many of us through the darkest and brightest seasons of our lives. This documentary gathers us in shared breath and witness, honoring Andrea’s legacy of queer tenderness, political truth-telling, and radical love. It’s more than a screening; it’s a collective offering, a moment to stand together in the good light they taught us to seek, make, and protect.

“…Expect a Circus”

“…Expect a Circus”

  • The Workroom at Northampton Center for the Arts (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Audiences 14+ are invited to enjoy a captivating collection of contemporary circus works revolving around the power of the body. Inspired by Roxane Gay’s concept of the “unruly body,” through aerial, juggling, tightwire, and dance, these works subvert conventional circus aesthetics to interrogate the politicization of physical form. Rather than spectacle for spectacle’s sake, "...Expect a Circus" spotlights the dedication, activism, and discipline of circus arts while examining how bodies resist, provoke, and challenge the political sphere.
