David 11/27/201911/29/2019 Big news: We’d like to introduce you to Steele Ezekiel Overholt! He joined us around 4am Monday (Nov. 25.), at 7 lbs 11oz. If you’re wondering about the name- “Steele” is a family name (David’s middle name and also the maiden name of David’s beloved grandmother), and “Ezekiel” holds the spirit of the prophets – spiritual performance artists, with great integrity, courage, and a big touch of wild. Thanks to friends and family for the amazing encouragement and support. We’re feeling extra thankful this holiday week!

David 07/26/201907/27/2019 Big news for this Fall – our newly funded @RubiXproject collaboration will be involved in a three event residency at 21C Hotels KC! More info below… . . Reckoncile, RubiX’s fall residency at @21chotels Kansas City, grapples with this question: Can you clean the slate without settling accounts? This multidisciplinary, site-specific performance series invites audiences to immerse themselves in thoughts and emotions that often go unsaid. Whether in intimate partnership or in our environment and society, everyone inflicts and suffers hurt. So, what then? Join RubiX for three unique, interactive explorations on September 13 (Regard), October 11 (Reform) and November 15 (Restore). . . . RubiX breaks creators out of disciplinary silos while bridging the gap between audience and performers. We are a performance outlet that brings musicians, dancers, visual artists and writers together to collaborate on transformative events. This ever-changing platform is rearrangeable to space, theme, media and content with a rotating talent pool, grounded by its founding six members: Haley Kostas, Conner Giles, Sarah Magill, Teresa Leggard, David Steele Overholt and Johnny Dawbarn. . . .

Support for this work is provided by a Rocket Grants project award, a program of the Charlotte Street Foundation and the University of Kansas Spencer Museum of Art.
