Solo Explorations 2013 presents new individual pieces by graduating Master of Fine Arts Acting candidates Bobby August Jr., Maria Candelaria, Susan-Jane Harrison and Aaron Jessup in HOT COUNTRY.

Artists against a stark landscape: a varied shifting terrain, the map of political events, transit across the seas. “What country, friends, is this?” Hot, by definition intense, current, appealing and disturbing. Four solo performers split identities:

Possession: the space between arrival and destination (Susan-Jane Harrison)
Question Mark:  alienation and loss  (Bobby August Jr.)
I’m Ulrike – Screaming: flesh within cells, a prism within prison (Maria Candelaria)
Flying Dreams:  a transatlantic vaudevillian tragicomedy (Aaron Jessup)
