| v e s s e l s | invites you to our inaugural evening-length performance of Neutral Ground, a 60-minute dance theatre piece that explores existing in the in-between space and the search for belonging as Asian-Pacific Americans. Giving voice to the singular monolith that is the “model minority,” Neutral Ground seeks to bring to life the buried stories and emotional landscapes that exist within our communities. 

Neutral Ground was the created thanks to the support of the CUNY Dance InitiativeLaguardia Performing Arts Center, and Asian American Arts Alliance.

ABOUT | v e s s e l s | 
Founded in 2014 by artistic directors Shoey Sun and Kris Seto, | v e s s e l s | is a dance-theatre collective comprised of diverse, multidisciplinary artists. Their mission is to create transformative, genre-blurring work that is witty, honest, and a touch surreal. 

Evocative and raw, their movement intersects traditional Thai and Chinese folk dances, hip-hop, street jazz, as well as influences from contemporary forms including Nadine Bommer's Kinetica.
