Out-FRONT! Fest. Presenting: jill sigman/thinkdance

January 9 @ 7:00 pm

Out-FRONT! Fest. A Festival curated by Pioneers Go East Collective and presented in partnership with Judson Church.

Out-FRONT! Fest is a new dance, performance art, and film festival championing the voices of LGBTQ and Feminist artists for a lively exchange of art and culture. The Out-FRONT! Festival 2025 is curated by Gian Marco Riccardo Lo Forte, Philip Treviño, and Daniel Diaz; producer Remi Harris, and cultural organizer Joyce Isabelle. The Festival features award-winning artists who enlighten, entertain and promote conversations around aesthetic diversity and personal journeys on the intersection of mutual ideas, cultures, and meanings.

General Admission and Free tickets available. All are welcome!

Re-Seeding (Encounter #4: The Seamstress)

Re-Seeding is an iterative performance process that explores our interconnectedness to land and each other. In this new iteration, Encounter #4: The Seamstress, Sigman brings her own lineage as a non-Indigenous person with a history of Jewish grief, immigrant displacement, and trauma to the land that is now called Washington Square—once the homeland of the Lenape people, the site of a disappeared underground creek, part of a free Black farming community, a military parade ground, and a mass grave in which some 20,000 people are buried. In a performance landscape of mulberry and cherry tree stumps, Sigman casts family artifacts and clay body parts in a divining ritual of self-understanding, memorializing her recently deceased father, and acknowledging the painful history of this occupied land. The piece is a solo dance in which Jill is joined by three live musicians, Miguel Frasconi on glass instruments, Gustavo Aguilar on percussion, and Kristin Norderval on voice and electronics, and theater/spoken word artist Vida Landrón (African, Powhatan, Taino).

Movement: Jill Sigman

Music: Kristin Norderval (voice, electronics), Gustavo Aguilar (percussion), Miguel Frasconi (glass)

Witness/Spoken Word: Vida Landrón

Text: Vida Landrón

Spatial Design: Jill Sigman

Trying to undo the knots.

Trying to measure the cemetery.

Trying to hold the clear-cut forest together with tape and string.

Trying to remember with my cells.

Trying to bear witness.

Trying to keep going.

Trying to figure out: is apology even possible?

The ancestor said, “You are the seamstress. You must try to undo the knots and mend the fabric.”
