Overview: Inner Climate Change asks what we can do to SHIFT our internal ecosystems. To CREATE villages of connection with our neighbors,
 and CHALLENGE the external systems that profit from an overall imbalance in our collective global ecosystems. ​CONCEPT: Our homes are at the center of our human existence. How do we interact with, connect, and have access to a home that collectively benefits all? Inner Climate change invites you to a "home." A rented airbnb in downtown Flagstaff, where the audience can explore, question, and challenge what it means to live in the US in 2023.

Boxes is an immersive combination of performance art, installation, and live elements, that reflect what we experienced individually and collectively during the pandemic. The performers each created a box that repreresent their individual story. What they went through, the lessons they learned, and the challenges they faced. It encompasses multiple art forms including visual arts, theater, dance, music, dance, and film. We've all gone through so much during the pandemic. Boxes is an effort to connect and heal through art.

Time
Concept:
FALA students explored the concept of time as an answer to the “lost time” they experienced during the pandemic. They researched every aspect of time, challenged concepts, all while exploring their own memories.
​
Overview:
Time is about a character named Amisthesia. She had early childhood trauma, and because of this, had less memories, but rather, more impressions of her early life. The story unwinds moving forwards and backwards with each character representing a memory.

Pop-Up Performance from the safety of your car: HOME is a performance project created by Interference Series board member and artist, Betsy Hamill. Concept: There will be a collection of 10 stops on a tour-like drive-thru performance experience throughout Flagstaff. Each stop will showcase a different artist/medium that you can safely watch from your car. The night before the show, you will recieve a link to a map and will all meet at a starting point. A guide will lead you through an evening of performance, sound installation, and visual art offerings by local artists!
