Women-led contemporary ballet company konverjdans, co-directed by Amy Saunder, Jordan Miller, and Tiffany Mangulabnan, presents HYPHA: an exciting weekend of live performances on June 14-15, 2024, at The Mark Morris Dance Center's James & Martha Duffy Performance Space in Brooklyn, New York, featuring:

Since its inception in 2016, konverjdans has been like one big, tangling, constantly evolving mass of hyphae. . . Hyphae (plural for hypha) are the long, branching, thread-like filaments that converge to form mycelium, a  network that extends in all directions through the soil, with each hypha thread sending nutrients into the developing fruiting bodies of fungi (e.g. mushrooms), in much the same way that roots carry nutrients into trees.

This is kind of how we feel about our konverj community: Each of us here is an individual creator who continually branches out to explore, experiment, perform, and produce work beyond the konverj-network — usually within the context of other dance companies, but sometimes in other creative fields altogether. We're constantly making new discoveries, shattering old ideas, finding new threads of stories to tell, and carrying them back here — to a company that is inherently collaborative, where our separate and unique experiences serve only to deepen and enrich the work that we create together.

We're raising $10,000 to help cover the costs of studio space, theater rental, and the work of a wide range of brilliant artistic collaborators in dance, music, and visual art — in other words, the costs of putting on an amazing show. So converge with us by making a tax-deductible donation, and help HYPHA grow!
