MOVEMENT: III
Category: KANEKO Core Programs • MOVEMENT • Performances | Season: FORM
III is an evening-length, original performance by tbd. dance collective as part of The Movement Series at KANEKO.
The performance is a movement triptych, containing three, 15-minute sections of movement taking place in the upstairs gallery of the building. Movement within each section revolves spatially and conceptually around an installation or structure located within the room. The nature and quality of the movement were informed by various architectural aspects of each of the installations, drawing from shape, line, and form. The performance features original music by Gregory Elsasser and Alex Jacobsen. Choreography within the performance was developed collaboratively by the dancers within the group.
At the conclusion of each section, audience members may shift their focus to the area of the next section, physically move, or remain in their original location. If moving to a different area, please stay outside of the colored tape lines on the floor indicating the performance areas. Please note, that if moving to a new area, additional chairs will not be available for every audience member. Audience members may stand or sit on the floor. A few benches and chairs will be provided for those who need seating.

MOVEMENT Series: mode of being
Category: KANEKO Core Programs • Members • MOVEMENT • Performances | Season: Human Condition
An examination of the shared elements of human nature.
As part of The Movement Series, tbd. dance collective presents mode of being, an evening length production examining the shared elements of human nature. Through movement, dancers will explore the external behaviors, rituals, and patterns we engage in on a daily basis, as well as the internal ability we have to experience life through a range of emotions. These shared acts of humanity are widely varied, but can overlap and intersect – connecting us in ways that can be easily seen, and other times only felt. Mode of being will feature a live, original score, created in direct conversation with the choreography and exhibition.
The performance will take place in galleries on both the second and main floors. The first half of the performance will be upstairs, with standing room only. Audience members will then be asked to move from the second floor, to the main floor. If special assistance, or an elevator is needed, please communicate with KANEKO staff prior to the performance. Seating for the second half is on the main floor. The movement has been specifically designed for the seating arrangement, and visibility will be different depending on where you sit. You will have a unique perspective of the show, no matter where you are seated. Arriving early to select your seat is highly encouraged.
Limited tickets are available for these performances. Once tickets are sold out, there will not be a waitlist or ticket resale. Seating is on a first come, first serve basis.

Reality Tbd.
Category: MOVEMENT | Season: Reality
Reality Tbd. is an immersive dance & film production.
Through movement, film, original music + interactive lighting elements, tbd. dance collective and filmmaker Nik Fackler will transform our shared space into an experience of shifting realities and collective consciousness – examining the line between audience and performer. Reality Tbd. will premier a new dance film entitled “Waiting for Reality” in conjunction with a live performance by tbd. dance collective. This performance seeks to explore how the perceptions of others in our shared reality construct our individual realities.
It’s important that you feel enveloped by the production which is why performances will exist in four separate intimate experiences. There will be a limited amount of seats at each screening for optimal viewing and intention of a deeper connection to the created environment.
Parts of the performance will exist in different spaces, which will require limited movement. Please reach out if you have any mobility restrictions so we can accommodate to your needs.

When Visible
Category: MOVEMENT • Performances | Season: light
We joined tbd. dance collective for When Visible, a MOVEMENT series performance which explored the power of light.
When Visible was an original dance performance which explored the presence and absence of light and the power it has to illuminate and absorb perceptions of feelings and reality. When experiencing light, the mind is often drawn to the visible, however there is an entire spectrum that we cannot see. Using movement, original sound design, and the interactive visual art within the light exhibition, the dancers created an immersive experience that invites audience members to examine the purpose, balance, and existence of both light and darkness and the effect both have on more than just our sight.

Dance Collective
tbd. is an Omaha based modern and contemporary dance collective founded in 2014 by a group of artists and dancers who wanted to create, learn, explore, and perform movement together. The idea of the collective developed organically based on a need for more consistent performance and choreographic opportunities for modern dancers in Nebraska. What began as an unknown, and self-made DIY dance project, quickly grew into an established and recognized fixture in the Omaha arts community. Through organizations like KANEKO and the Under the Radar Festival, tbd. has been able to create performances that challenge audience perceptions of dance as an art form, and facilitate workshops that enrich people’s lives with movement and self expression. Our work is the result of collaborations and relationships we have fostered with artists throughout the community who specialize in lighting, sound, music, visual art, and film. Through these collaborations, tbd. has been able to expand upon the creative process of building choreography and produce multidisciplinary movement-based performances. Our mission is to produce unique and quality art through movement, to collaborate with other artists throughout the community so that our work is both innovative and relevant, to encourage critical dialogue about choreography and performance, and continue the growth and support of modern/contemporary dance in Omaha.
