This Weekend: Shorter Than a Tunnel, Longer Than a Bridge
Amelia Charter & Sam Wentz

3 performances May 29–31 | Fri & Sat 7pm, Sun 4pm

Amelia Charter and Sam Wentz collaborate for the first time in an evening-length performance at the intersection of movement, object practice, and sound. Gathering a growing body of materials, organic and inorganic, they construct an elemental, sonic system. Structures are continuously emerging, disrupted, and reconfigured. How are things built around us, under us, between us, and through us? When it falls away, what are we left with?

Collective Choreographies a project by Maura Chen @chenmaur at Human Resouces
May 14-24, 2026

Organized by Chris E. Vargas @chrisevargas

Collective Choreographies exhibits thirty-six labanotational ink drawings of line dances. Using a taxonomy of tiny and precise lines, each notation corresponds to a movement within standard line dance choreography. These movements are typically specified by “stepsheets,” written instructions popularly circulated through open-source websites to learn and teach line dances. Each drawing shows 121 “dancers” in a grid of 11 x 11 “dancing” simultaneously. Each hand-drawn depiction highlights the tension between coordinated, identical movements and each unique and idiosyncratic instance. The representation of repetitive, rhythmic sameness reveals itself to be, in fact, a representation of multiplicity and difference, in the drawing as it is on the dance floor. As a meditation on coordinated movement, the drawings seek to depict the muscle memory and propulsion of group movement that directs our physical bodies more than any coherent thought when moving together.

Ella Ray (@earth2earth2earth)’s essay, "Watching You, Watching: Me On Panteha Abareshi and the Spectacle of Illness," from our recent issue, is now online!⁠
⁠
Ray writes, "Although disabled artists critically interrogating the spectacle of illness is nothing new, this work gains potency when it meets with an increasingly ill and debilitating world. Abareshi's works can be situated alongside a lineage of disabled and chronically ill artists-Bob Flanagan, Donald Rodney, and Xixi Edelsbrunner-who also use their experience as medicalized subjects to explore erotic desire, objectification, and authority."⁠

L.A.! I’m coming back for two very special nights at @humanresourcesla ! June 5 + 6! Bringing you intimate reimaginings of music from Canto de Todes and our queridísimo Juan Gabriel! Get your tickets now! Link in bio!!! 💖✨🔥✨💖

Dorian Wood returns to Human Resources for two nights only with an immersive performance that interweaves music from her newly-released album Canto de Todes (@newamrecords ) with iconic songs by the legendary singer/composer Juan Gabriel. Loved by millions around the world, El Divo de Juárez has left an undeniable imprint on our collective consciousness. Says Wood: “Growing up in South L.A. in the 80’s, Juanga’s music was the air we breathed, always on the radio, on TV, drifting in the air at picnics in MacArthur Park, backyard birthday parties, bake sales at Plaza de la Raza, and soothing us to sleep from the living room while our parents stayed up. No other artist has achieved this kind of omnipresence. I want my brief return to L.A. this year to convey these memories, and this honoring of Juanga, de toda corazón.”

Wood’s own composition Canto de Todes–Spanish for “Song of Everyone”–is a mutating project that began as a touring 12-hour work and was released in May 2026 as a 70-minute album that weaves together chamber classical, folk, torch song, and experimental music. Canto de Todes emphasizes the urgency of music as a vessel for social change, and simultaneously honors the ancestral trajectory of Wood’s Costa Rican-Nicaraguan family in the U.S.
