Where is the Line?
After the rain; the birds allow me to hear their song; the butterfly allows me to dry them with my breath
Where is the Line between this and that?
I feel the flow, and yet I wonder do I write this down or allow the flow to flow
Where is the Line?
Connection to everything; this space with no words and poetry is
Where is the line
Voice to text, text to voice, maybe you pick up what I say maybe you hear maybe you listen maybe we are maybe we aren't the point is there is no point the point is we are point unless we forget and we are lost; elsewhere
Where is the line
The line where I allow the words to flow, but have to stop them -- in order to make them words
when to wait in prose and when to share
Where is the line
When is it inspiration, when has it passed its expiration; when are we and where are we when we are trying to encompass the flow that is only the flow when it cannot be encompassed
where is the line
The line between me and you
the line between us and them
the line between wholeness and individuality
where is the line
Where is the line where we stop speaking and truth is
When does rhythm become music
When do we wake up
Where is the line when we end
What is the line between life and stagnation
What is the line between birth and death death and birth
Where is the line between me and you
Where is the line between the projections of my mind and the reflections of yours
Where is the line between my dream our dream and the dream
On what line do we end
and love; is.
Love is
Love is love is love is love is love is love is love is love is love is love is love is love is love is love is love is love is love is allowed
Voice to text saying it better than I ever could love is love is love is allowed
Love is
Love is
Love is love

SkyE
Raised by the neighborhood bluejays in a town you’ve never heard of, SkyE is a transdisciplinary artist, autodidact, and self-made person. Inspired by birdsong and improvisation as bridges connecting us to flow and spirit, sky creates through theater, opera, visual art, circus, poetry, and film.
The New Yorker said sky's leading role was 'performed virtuosically' in Hopscotch, a Mobile Opera. LA Dance Chronicle claimed sky’s self-created counter-tenor a cappella sound environment was ‘astounding <and> mesmerizing.’ LA Weekly wrote of SkyE flying through Hollywood Fringe: 'showstopping.'
A few favorite SkyE memories: The Hammer Museum (gallery), The Industry LA (live performance), LADCA (film/painting grant), Garden (gallery), GPGP (gallery), Cleveland Orchestra (NY Times press)
Jeremy Hahn
Jeremy Hahn (he/they) is an interdisciplinary artist and educator based at the Brewery Artist Lofts in Los Angeles. His process-based projects are creative pedagogical offerings rooted in contemplative practice and queer performance research. These worldbuilding projects are opportunities to connect through a contemplative framework and engage in experiences of place-making as a praxis of care and queer joy. My work is about critical and creative communal reflection during durational performances, immersive, site-responsive installations, and interactive, contemplative movement workshops known as “Cultivating the Expressive Body,” for the LGBTQ2IA+ community.
Their current research investigates the configurations and practices of 'queer contemplative pedagogy' as a fluid framework whose ecology upholds the conditions for cultivating relationships among present-moment awareness, critical reflection, and critique within temporal community. By mapping this pedagogy across performance, education, service, and activism, the research demonstrates how this approach contributes to the development of world-building projects rooted in queer epistemologies that foster alternative narratives to the heteronormative paradigm and enable queer communities to thrive.
As a performer, they currently work with Jane Brucker and the Pennington Dance Group and have performed with Efflorescence, Lucent Dossier Experience, and Yuval Sharon. They have performed at LACMA, The Hammer Museum, The Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, LAMAG, Baik Gallery, The Skirball Cultural Center, The Annenberg Community Beach House, The Brand Library, Lightning in a Bottle, EDC, The Edison, The Echo + Echo Plex, Vibiana, Gloria Molina Grand Park, and Severance Hall.
He holds an MFA in Dance from California State University, Long Beach, is a Ph.D. candidate in Dance at Texas Woman's University, and is a full-time lecturer in the Department of Theatre and New Dance at Cal Poly Pomona, where he has taught for over a decade.
