Dancer/choreographer/community organizer Jay Carlon and composer/sound artist/vocalist Micaela Tobin bring people together in their iterative performance practice known as TALAGA. This intimate and relaxed gathering combines performance, conversation, and food in the spirit of sharing and learning about unique cultural perspectives and lived experiences. Each iteration of TALAGA is tailored to our present moment and is a platform for the collaborating artists’ research and respective practices of experimental movement, music, and decolonization. The most recent recipient of the Ellis-Beaureguard Foundation’s Choreographer Award, Carlon’s work facilitates shared healing and the exploration of post-colonial identity, ancestry, and the complex queer and Filipinx experience in relationship to site and space.
