very peak summer solstice



2 new collaborations between poets and dancemakers
1 commissioned essay
for the june 21, 2019 summer solstice

june 21, 2019 / performances @ ISSUE Project Room
june 18, 2019 / craft talk and discussion @ Asian American Writers Workshop

"very peak summer solstice is almost redundant – on this day, the sun is visible in the horizon for the longest time until 2020. vpss proposes collaborations between dancemakers and poets to play, create, and be messy in making new work. There's a respect for the craft and a suggestion towards de-skilling"
