Mosaic Theater Company’s Precarious by Audrey Brown
In the aftermath of the pandemic years, when the reality was the reverse for many young twenty-
and thirty-somes, playwright Steph Del Rosso flips the script, forcing climate warrior Vi into her
daughter Tillie’s one-bedroom New York apartment that she shares with partner Drew. Chaos and
comedy ensue—or rather, a series of chaotic, comedic scenarios that force the watcher into

After seeing Aerial Ignition’s performance, ETHEReality, at the 2026 INTERSECTIONS Festival hosted by the Atlas Performing Arts Center, my curiosity about the aerial arts has skyrocketed! The program notes, “Each performer from Aerial Ignition draws from lived experience to share stories of being ‘othered,’ silenced, or separated, ultimately finding voice, movement, and freedom in the air.” This company further expanded my understanding of all that dance artistry can be by virtue of their existence.
Darby, Fujimoto, and Umami Playground Dance Inc.: Urban Steps at Atlas INTERSECTIONS by Ashayla Byrd
A mixed-bill performance featuring works by Chandini Darby, Kyoko Fujimoto, and Umami Playground Dance, Inc., the evening celebrates “diverse dance forms and the real-world connections that shape us as artists.” With an emphasis on the unique perspectives of the artists, storytelling, reflection, and belonging, I look forward to the expressions of each artist’s connections to their respective cities.
