Caitlin makes dances for the stage and screen. She uses elements of theater, circus, and film to explore themes of intimacy, desire, fear, and the absurd. Her dances mine a private human emotional experience in an attempt to breakdown an illusion of loneliness and posit imaginative possibilities that make noise and glitter.
Caitlin has had work presented by Cambridge Community Television, The Dance Complex, The School for Contemporary Dance and Thought, Third Life Studio, and The Yard. She is currently supported by The Somerville Arts Council as an Artist in Residence at Art Assembled. In the past, she has been supported by The Boston Foundation as a 2019-2020 Next Steps for Boston Dance artist, and as a Dance Fellow for the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston. She has performed in work by Jenna Pollack, ATTN:Dance, The Slutcracker, Luminarium Dance Company, Chris Croucher Arts, and Ruckus Dance. She teaches for Midday Movement Series in Cambridge, MA and at the West Concord Dance Academy in Concord, MA.

The Dancers
Holly Bourdon is an actor, singer, dancer, choreographer, and teaching artist who believes that being a jack of all trades does not make you a master of none. As a lifelong mover, Holly takes great pride in being a fully embodied performer, inevitably bringing movement into everything she does. As a choreographer and teaching artist, Holly brings a unique perspective from her dual undergraduate degree in Theatre and Modern Dance from Roger Williams University, making kinesthetic sense of traditionally presentational musical theatre dance forms. Holding an MFA in Musical Theatre from Boston Conservatory, Holly understands the value of strong, sustainable technique in performance, but never takes for granted the importance of instinct and impulse onstage. Holly reveres live performance as a living entity, and no two performances of Holly’s will ever be identical. In any situation, Holly is always looking for the “why,” believing that everything we do onstage should make a statement. Whether it is challenging perceptions of gender presentation, pushing the limits of what the traditional theatre space can be, or simply finding truth onstage, Holly strives to make art that matters. hollybourdon.com

Rajita Menon is a performer, scientist, and lover of sunshine from New Delhi, India. Her work is rooted in the playful and emotive, and expressed mainly through dance-theater and the spoken word. She is drawn to honest and visceral portrayals of inner life, in seeing and being seen, and finding connection through improvisational composition. Uniting her love for art and science, Rajita also explores artistic work that engages with conceptually and mathematically dense ideas, connecting the wonder and the rigor of scientific practice. She has made some beautiful messes with musicians, poets, and playwrights around Boston : "Owning Dissonance", a work of somatic movement theater exploring trauma in women and how we heal; voicing various shape-shifting monsters in local radio theater productions; and teaching a 'Physics and Dance' artistic workshop. She can usually be found dancing witchlike in the woods, nerding out about the human microbiome, or both.
