Embarqued: Stories of Soil Open Rehearsals

Company SBB // Stefanie Batten Bland will be in residence at ArtYard in Frenchtown this March in the leadup to the world premiere of Embarqued: Stories of Soil as part of a new partnership between ArtYard and the Baryshnikov Arts Center.

The public is invited to stop by ArtYard to observe Company SBB’s rehearsals from 11 AM to 4 PM on Wednesday, March 16 through Friday, March 18 and Wednesday, March 23 through Friday, March 25 as part of the residency.

Embarqued is an installation-based dance-theatre work that interrogates existing relationships to memorials. In this work, textiles help us tell stories of who we are and the spaces we associate with and call home.

Company SBB dancers will be rehearsing in a second-floor workroom at ArtYard Center while members of the production team will be in tech rehearsals in the theater.

The open rehearsal is a chance to witness the workings of creating a performance. During the open rehearsal, artists may come and go, start and stop, and may be on break for lunch. We encourage aspiring artists, dancers, students, and anyone curious about the inner-workings of putting on a dance performance to attend.

Registration is not required, and there is no cost.
