At 6:30pm and 8:30pm on Wednesday, July 1st, Isabella Thorpe-Woods (@bellathorpewoods) presents 𝑬𝒏𝒗𝒆𝒍𝒐𝒑/𝒆, her second program as ISSUE’s 2026 Suzanne Fiol Curatorial Fellow. Over the course of her fellowship, the artist will share a series of events that explore letters as a curatorial prompt, and the ways they both fail and succeed in transmitting meaning or reaching their desired destination.

𝑬𝒏𝒗𝒆𝒍𝒐𝒑/𝒆 brings together choreographers Jade Manns (@jademanns) and Ella Dawn W-S (@dancews) for site-specific duets that navigate presence and absence, repetition and rupture, and the tension between inherited geometries and shifting landscapes. Here, dance unfolds at the site of de/construction.

🎟️ This program has limited capacity, and features two time slots for entry at 6:30pm and 8:30pm. No waitlist!

And huge thank you to @pageantpageantpageant for making dreams come true, send them $ keep them going

Preparing for this competition consumed me psychically and physically for weeks leading up to it. It tapped me into an early childhood love of competing. Not winning, which I rarely did, but the stakes of competition, the adrenaline, the way it asks us to reach beyond our beliefs in what is possible, the focus it demands.

An honor to compete in the arena of experimental dance and performance. World's away from the gymnastics meet, but sometimes not so far.

very excited to perform alongside @dancews in @maite.iribarren.vazquez and @2000pandas show at @foreigndomestic on Friday evening. Ella and I were in a class called “dance making: thinking through the medium” at the new school when we were 18 and its been over a decade since we last saw each other but I think this might be magic, we’ll see, come see!
