      <image:title>HMD Artists in Residence - NMLY.dance</image:title>
      <image:caption>After many years in the studio together Nicole McNeil and Lori Yuill are working collaboratively to meld their creative capacities. NMLY.dance is a convergence of their intersectional interests and individual studio practices. Intentionally they entered this collaborative venture with a desire to deepen their collaborative practice, calling on multiple voices to shape the direction of the creative act. Their goal is to entangle different artistic practices to reveal new ones and rediscover old ones. NMLY.dance projects explore multimedia performance using dance, projections, and sound design always with the goal of melding different perspectives in order to build new worlds for audiences to inhabit with them.

      <image:title>HMD Artists in Residence - Lori Yuill</image:title>
      <image:caption>(Performer/ Choreographer and Set Design) Lori Yuill has been engaged in making dances for the past two decades.  Her work includes ongoing research into the in-between spaces: the space between narrative and abstraction, choreography and improvisation, and between performance and rehearsal. Lori is drawn to site specific work because of the opportunity to learn from and about different places like the Flower Garden Banks off the shore of Galveston, or Finca Tres Robles a farm located in Houston's East End where she made “Green Zebras: Moringa Madness''  In addition to making dances for specific spaces, Lori has made several evening length works for the stage including “The Remembering Happens” created during a residency at Rice University. Her choreographic interests in collaboration, research and process infuse her teaching practice as well.  She works with a variety of organizations to bring dance to curious movers and thinkers.  At Houston Met Dance, Lori serves as the Director of Curriculum helping to cultivate a conversation about how dance is shared across age groups and across genres.  Additionally, with Hope Stone she has the great pleasure to guide the residents at Village of River Oaks Memory Care Center through bimonthly dance classes, and through Performing Arts Houston Lori facilitates a creative writing and dance program for middle school students.  She has worked as a facilitator for Artist Inc., a program that helps artists develop their business practices, and for Emc Arts, a program that helps nonprofits develop their adaptive capacities.

      <image:caption>Inner Landscapes: Thursday Evenings 6:30 - 8:00pm, February 10th, 17th, 24th, March 3rd and 10th Intersecting Anatomy, Technique, and Improvisation Inner Landscapes asks us to tap into our inner child to move fluidly from information to imagination to creation. Each workshop in this series includes a short discussion on anatomy, a movement practice related to the topic covered and time to explore creatively. In addition to dancing we will use crafting and writing exercises to ignite our imagination. We will put our anatomy into motion discovering both the functional and expressive capabilities of different parts of the body.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>A Tender Provocation: Thursday Evenings 6:30 - 8:00pm, April 28th, May 5th, 12th, 19th and 26th Exploring the trajectory between abstraction and representation This workshop charts the curved path as we project our physical and psychological bodies through space in time with energy. Through described and improvisational movement we engage in the external expression of physics and identity, answering the question, Who Am I? Through resistance and surrender to the gravitation of our planet, politics and personalities we excavate the curiosity of being, asking the question, Who Else Can I Become?. The movement research I offer in the workshop fluctuates between sensation based improvisation models and stylized/vernacular/social/jazz and modern dance vocabulary.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Guest Artist 2024 - Katelyn Halpern - Katelyn Halpern</image:title>
      <image:caption>Katelyn Halpern is a multidisciplinary artist from Austin, Texas living in Jersey City. Trained as a dancer and writer and self-taught in other media, she works in installations, performance, multimedia visual art, and the written word on subjects of peace/not peace, intimate relationship, space dust, possibility-freedom-futures, and the experience of moving through the world in a feminine body. Her works, often formulated as worlds, versions, and networks, function as propositions about how things might, or ought, to be.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Persi is a multifaceted movement artist originally from the metro Detroit area. They have trained in many movement styles including: Modern, tap, jazz, contemporary, breaking, muay thai, capoeira, and ballet- the culmination of which has shaped their sense of exploring connection and athletic nature. In addition to movement, Persi enjoys costume creation and often incorporates their original designs into their performance works. After receiving their BFA in contemporary dance from Indiana University, with a portion of their studies being spent internationally at the Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance, Persi moved to Kansas City where they performed as a company member in both City in Motion Dance Theater and Tristian Griffin Dance Company. Now based in Houston, they are creating works as an artist in residence at the Houston Met Dance, and performing with Urban Souls Dance Company.</image:caption>

      <image:title>jhon r. stronks - jhon r. stronks</image:title>
      <image:caption>jhon r. stronks is a queer identifying gender non conforming singer, dancer choreographer. Often their dancing is a mending practice in pursuit of expansion and evolution, while their singing carries through a mourning call in search of recognition, and reconciliation. Through their voice and movement emerges a genderqueer expression that remembers lost existences and imagines new trajectories toward the home and rest they are chasing after.   As a dancemaker stronks has been accused of presenting audiences with seemingly unruly work that reveals itself according to its own logic. Seeing their work as collage stronks, choreographic expressions combine the fundamental elements of composition, with a confluence of movement styles and techniques drawn from a personal movement foundation in Modern, Post-Modern, Jazz, Ballet and Africanist dance training. From this place, stronks dives into the deep end playing with alternative structures for dance making that are more intuitive and often unpredictable. The result is the creation of a broad field for the dancing, where the context is clear; the eye has choices, and the viewer gets to decide. Photo by Pam Ashley</image:caption>

      <image:title>Performances - Nature Stories: TerraForm(ed) Collective</image:title>
      <image:caption>Nature Stories will use dance and individual stories as a way to understand the value of protecting local ecology. On April 18th, 3pm at Midtown Park, the TerraForm(ed) Collective will perform Nature Stories in conjunction with National Water Dance.  Across the nation different groups will bring attention to the fragility of our waters and move with one voice for responsible stewardship of our Earth. The dance will guide the public through Midtown Park and the community will be invited to add their own “Nature Stories” to the chalkboard in response to the dance that they are witnessing. April 18th 2026 | 3:00pm | Midtown Park Free and open to the public!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Le'Andre Douglas - Vernacular Jazz and House Dance SessionSessions - Le’Andre Douglas</image:title>
      <image:caption>Le'Andre Douglas is a guardian of the African-American story. Through dance, he preserves and innovates Black culture, honoring its roots while embracing the future. He believes in the power of movement to communicate, educate, and inspire, and is dedicated to filling the gap where access to education about the cultural lineage and African origins of Black cultural dances is lacking. Mr. Douglas does this through lectures at various Colleges and Universities including University of Houston, and UT Austin. Douglas's holistic approach to dance includes classes, performances, and social events, creating a tapestry of past, present, and future Black dance forms as a bearer of tradition.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>(Performer/ Choreographer and Set Design) Lori Yuill has been engaged in making dances for the past two decades.  Her work includes ongoing research into the in-between spaces: the space between narrative and abstraction, choreography and improvisation, and between performance and rehearsal. Lori is drawn to site specific work because of the opportunity to learn from and about different places like the Flower Garden Banks off the shore of Galveston, or Finca Tres Robles a farm located in Houston's East End where she made “Green Zebras: Moringa Madness''  In addition to making dances for specific spaces, Lori has made several evening length works for the stage including “The Remembering Happens” created during a residency at Rice University. Her choreographic interests in collaboration, research and process infuse her teaching practice as well.  She works with a variety of organizations to bring dance to curious movers and thinkers.  At Houston Met Dance, Lori serves as the Director of Curriculum helping to cultivate a conversation about how dance is shared across age groups and across genres.  Additionally, with Hope Stone she has the great pleasure to guide the residents at Village of River Oaks Memory Care Center through bimonthly dance classes, and through Performing Arts Houston Lori facilitates a creative writing and dance program for middle school students.  She has worked as a facilitator for Artist Inc., a program that helps artists develop their business practices, and for Emc Arts, a program that helps nonprofits develop their adaptive capacities.
