For their ninth full-length performance, ChristinaNoel & The Creature presents Funnel of Love. Funnel of Love is ChristinaNoel's newest work, utilizing the company's trademark blend of dance and voice performance that straddles dance theatre and dance opera. Through their movement and original text and vocals, the performers experience each other’s memories and plans—curious of how a pivotal choice is going to change their life and affect other people.

May 20–22
Chilo’s Greenwood
740 5th Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11232

The evening swings between truth and lies, assessing the precariousness and excitement of choosing to fall in or step back when finding oneself at a “tipping point.” As the company continues to refine vocal technique and composition, individual dancers express independent melodic lines that support the larger tonal center of the creation. Funnel of Love juxtaposes playful storytelling and large athletic movement within an eerie sonic container.

All the music in Funnel of Love is performed live, with pop and classical adaptations sprinkled among original compositions by the company musicians, performers, and ChristinaNoel.

Each performance will open with a different opening act, followed by The Creature’s Funnel of Love:

FRI 5/20 @ 8pm | mignolo dance
SAT 5/21 @ 8pm | Haley Morgan Miller
SUN 5/22 @ 5pm | The Ephyras, ChristinaNoel’s youth company

BONUS Ephyras-only performance: SAT 5/21 @ 5pm, feat. ChristinaNoel & The Creature

ChristinaNoel & The Creature and Arts on Site present Je Suis Gremlin. In a freshly vaccinated NYC, May 2021, The Creature premiered Je Suis Gremlin on a barricaded Brooklyn street. It was a joyous celebration of dance and community, and we are grateful for everyone who showed up in the late-May heat to experience our eighth evening-length work.

Now, Arts on Site will present The Creature in an encore performance to see the work in a theater setting. Je Suis Gremlin has been revisited and revised for a new space and a (slightly) changed NYC. The result is The Creature’s latest blend of dance and voice performance that straddles dance theatre and dance opera, sewn together by our new perspectives on space, boundaries, and the resilience of community:

I am a gremlin.

I’m perfect just the way I am.

I am just the way I am.

January 20 & 21

For their eighth full-length performance, ChristinaNoel & The Creature presents Je Suis Gremlin. This dance theatre piece by ChristinaNoel Reaves and the Creature cast is a remarkable product of the time we are living in: created with many stops and starts, new normals, and rehearsals taking place over Zoom, on rooftops, in parks, and in tumultuous weather. The result is The Creature’s latest blend of dance and voice performance that straddles dance theatre and dance opera, sewn together by our new perspectives on space, boundaries, and the resilience of community.

The Creature’s fifth season opens with our new dance theater piece titled but, love, the latest collaboration between ChristinaNoel Reaves, Aeric Meredith-Goujon, Cameron Mizell, and The Creature cast, utilizing the unique blend of dance and voice performance Reaves has developed as a signature of her company. This work explores individuality in a time of ever-increasing polarization. What is our place in this society? Can we influence change, or is the inertia of divide simply too much? The Creature performers dance, act, and sing through confrontations with each other and their own psyche, sometimes with dramatic tension, sometimes with comic relief, always with breathtaking artistry.
