Mouth Noise (Nina Sarnelle) is a container for sounds coming up from the gut. It’s a solo performance made of live music and projected video by an artist with severe chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease. Mouth Noise offers inflamed and intimate attempts to digest white supremacy, techno-colonialism, ecological collapse, and the brutality of the US immigration system.
Nina Sarnelle makes video, sound, entanglements, touch performance. They have shown work at the New Museum (NY), Whitechapel Gallery (London), Hammer Museum (LA), Getty Center (LA), Ballroom Marfa (TX), Black Cube (Denver) and many other places. They believe in a free Palestine and strongly suggest that you do too.
The Odds is a hybrid dance-performance by Julia Gladstone and Sacha Vega with live sound by James Gentile. The Odds ricochets between parody and exposure, playing a field where American privilege, chance, control, and humiliation emerge and shapeshift in the performers’ bodies. Inspired by Avgi Saketopoulou’s Sexuality Beyond Consent, Édouard Glissant’s Poetics of Relation, and the deadpan absurdity of Nathan Fielder, the piece turns performance into a game of unstable signals, shifting advantages, and speculative strategies.
Julia Gladstone is a facilitator, psychotherapist, and artist working in performance, sculpture, video, relational encounters, and experimental pedagogy. She is a recipient of the DAAD Fellowship in Performing Arts, and is a certified facilitator of Deep Listening.
Sacha Vega collages movement, poetics, and humor to examine the ideologies that train bodies to move. She has presented work at Westbeth Gallery, Judson Memorial Church, Leslie-Lohman Museum, 3AM Theatre, FringeArts, PhilaMoCA, Baxter St x CCNY, and Pelham Art Center. Vega is a 2025-26 New York Live Arts Fresh Tracks artist and a 2026 Da Vinci Arts Alliance Fellow.
