shadow works: vol 2

ALTER EGOS RE-EMERGE

Upon the success of the inaugural series in 2022, Shadow Works: Volume 2 sees three, new, short works surrender to the light.

This enthralling triple bill features Jake McLarnon’s flamboyant commission, Pink Parade, where nature’s choreography meets theatrical imagination.

Mischievous and menacing, Abattoir of Orange by Riley Baldwin is a delightfully unhinged, Halloween-inspired creation — a feast of grisly derision and grotesque grins, and that’s ready to both trick and treat.

Balancing this trilogy also comes Baldwin’s coiling, viper-like work on our separate Junior Company, Insignia; an emblem of our rhythmic pulse echoed through serpentine similarities.
