Featuring performances by Liv.e and Autumn Knight

This program highlights the unique space of experimental performance, tracing the fluid boundaries between music, art, and theater—between audience and performer—through powerful expressions of somatic practice. Featured are interdisciplinary artist Autumn Knight and singer-songwriter and producer Liv.e, each bringing a distinct voice to this exploration.

Autumn Knight works at the intersection of performance, installation, video, and text. With a foundation in Drama Therapy, and as a 2022 Guggenheim Fellow, her work creates immersive environments where the dynamics of message, expression, and the presence of the spectator coalesce into a singular, transformative experience.

Liv.e’s artistic path is one of continuous transformation—rooted in genre-blending and sonic experimentation. Born in Dallas and raised in a deeply musical family, she began her creative journey as a DJ before joining the collective Dolfin Records. Influenced by the sounds of gospel, jazz, R&B, funk, and hip-hop—passed down through her older brothers—Liv.e weaves these traditions into a style that feels both deeply personal and entirely new.
