About Ana is a dance piece broaching themes of reality and representation, original and copy, translation and error, body and image. Two female dancers engage each other and their ensuing dialogue is built on words and movement: each speaks one language natively, but not the other.

Panel is a performance-based four-channel video installation, a suite of four silkscreen prints, and a wall drawing based on a panel on doctors, torture, and coercive uses of therapy in prisons and asylums featuring Michel Foucault, R. D. Laing, Howie Harp and Judith Clark at the historic Schizo-Culture conference in 1975.

Inspired by conversations around race and identity, ...on being... is an evening-length, dance-centered multi-media work examining the notions of Blackness and Post-Blackness, while dealing with the layered complexities of gender, sexuality, class and cultural expectations.

The Language & Technology of Suffering: Spectacles of Deadly Art is a series of performances or happenings comprised of dark fiction, improvisation, sound and anthropomorphic props. The aim is to exploit multiple disciplines that, when experienced in totality, conveys subsistence and "evil" more convincingly than realism.

This project constructs programmed sound installations that are responsive to the acoustic ecology: the social, environmental and physical characteristics of a specific architecture. The goal is to amplify the acoustic properties of a structure, drawing to the fore the aesthetic relationships of the experience of a space as a catalyst for reconsideration of it.

Chuleta's Candid Convos/Pan-Hood PerformArt Summit are a series of live performances. Raimundi-Ortiz's alter-ego, Chuleta, serves as host/mediator/conduit to artists of color, culminating in a suite of candid, humorous discussions that expose artists of colors' concerns of otherness and exclusion within the art community, and uncover truths about those challenges.

A Reeducation is a space of theater in the form of an installation inspired by a 19th century utopian feminist community. Viewers inhabit both real-time and pre-recorded spaces of sculpture, image and sound, of ideas about relationships, community, and economy—a utopian template from which to reconsider our present moment. The image is my album cover for the project.

The Dance Apocalypse, a duet for Revlock and Bindler, takes the form of a Directors' Commentary. Our responses to video—in text and movement—work together to create a forceful commentary on our relationship to art-making and to each other as female artists in a spectacle-driven world. Dramaturgy: Jane Comfort.
