NEXT TO NOTHING by Cassie Tunick, Heather Harpham, Danny Tunick. This musical/physical/vocal exposure of the present moment reveals what we've known all along – nothing happens for a reason. Next to nothing, there's always something clamoring to exist. In this fully improvised performance, distinctly evolved narratives dovetail with intricate dances. Songs avalanche out of sound, morph into gestural architectures with a keen ear for broken rhythms and altered states of mind. The will-o'-the-wisp moment is made flesh in Second Nature's ongoing exploration of the physical supernatural and the real-as-your-hometown.

After our successful run of "I would" in June, we're moving our operation upstairs at St. Mark's Church in-the-Bowery for the next installment of TILT, presented in association with Incubator Arts Project in its New Performance Series.

"Construct" imagines the brain of our protagonist as a living pinball machine. Featuring live music by Lynn Wright, and a set designed by visual artist Stephanie Beck and carpenter Chimmy Gunn that grows to entangle the performers, "Construct" evokes the confusion of perspectives that reside inside a man's head, as illustrated by Don Quixote.

"Construct" includes musicians Eric Eble, Paul Wallfisch, Paul Watson, and Lynn Wright, and performers Rachel Cohen, Warren Craft, Alisa Fendley, and Masumi Kishimoto; lighting design by Jon Harper; stage management by Alex Pfister; and costumes by Olek.

This program is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.
