ENDURANCE presents performance art and interdisciplinary work by elder artists. This series is a companion program to LACE’s 2024 performance series, ABUNDANCE, both featuring often invisibilized bodies.

Through their longstanding committed and engaged practices, artists in ENDURANCE transmit wisdom and experience while embracing the challenges and opportunities that come with age and aging. Held over two nights at L.A. Dance Project, ENDURANCE showcases re-stagings and new commissions by legacy performance, dance, and literary artists Gloria Enedina Álvarez, Kamau Daáood, Anna Homler, Jeff Schwartz, and David Javelosa, Ulysses Jenkins and The Dark Bob (“who dat” band), Juanita and Juan (Alice Bag + Kid Congo Powers), Sharon Kagan, Hirokazu Kosaka, Oguri, Sheree Rose, Barbara T. Smith, and Awilda Sterling-Duprey. The program also features films by Eiko Otake and Joan Jonas on May 16, and Marnie Weber on May 17.

These artists share groundbreaking contributions to their disciplines with multiple generations, changing exclusionary narratives, and becoming ancestors in life.

ENDURANCE is curated by Selene Preciado, LACE Curator and Director of Programs.
