“The cast’s comfort in rehearsals translates seamlessly onstage; their radiant chemistry lays fertile ground for comedy to sprout. Though Hurricane Diane is multifaceted, the show’s humor holds each of its moving parts firmly in place, ensuring nothing gets swept away in the storm. The result is a brilliant mosaic you’ll certainly want to see for yourself.”
Nellie/Nellie
Based on famed stunt-girl journalist Nellie Bly’s 1887 exposé ‘Ten Days in a Madhouse’, Nellie/Nellie is a genre-bending performance work powered by original music inspired by torch songs, turn of the century Americana, and chamber opera. Told from the perspectives of two unreliable versions of Nellie Bly competing for control of the story, Antigravity Performance Project’s creative team transforms this sensationalist, socially-minded, feminist text into a gutsy music-dance-theatre work reflecting Nellie’s inner conflict between yellow journalism and news-making for moral good. Directed by Michael T. Williams.
Originally composed/devised from 2012-2014, Antigravity is returning to the Nellie/Nellie materials in a series of summer workshops focused on music, dramaturgy, and choreography. Music, Lyrics, Orchestrations, Sound Design by Michael Costagliola. Additional Songs by Ned Riseley. Directed by Michael T. Williams.

Dad Rock
Lead Artist/Performer/Writer: Kyle Dacuyan
developmental workshops
Dad Rock was conceived as a solo performance with poems, movement, and video collage that contemplates the relationships between American masculinity, nationhood, and remote violence through the lens of "Classic” or “Dad Rock", a DJ-created radio genre that emerged on American stations nationwide in the late 80s (the genre looks nostalgically on the pop music of the late 60s-80s).
