Welcome to Campfire

Welcome to Campfire Dystopian danceplays by creators and performers Tony Bordonaro and Ingrid Kapteyn

Welcome to Campfire is the story-making platform of creators and performers Tony Bordonaro and Ingrid Kapteyn. Merging dance and theater, their live and film productions immerse performers and audiences in dystopian futures that both endanger and engender human intimacy. They have collaborated to conceive, direct, produce, and perform three original danceplays in Shanghai, New York City, Chicago, and London that have been recommended by TimeOut Shanghai, TimeOut NY, Playbill, and No Proscenium. Their films The Pigeon & The Mouse and Subject are available to stream globally on Broadway On Demand and the Emmys® OTT platform, and their production of The Pigeon & The Mouse in London was a 2023 OFFIE (The OffWestEnd Theatre Awards) Nominee.

Haunting vocals. Drop-dead lewks. Stand-up mics. Otherworldly dimensions. Life-and-death stakes. A detective on a case…at review-of-life pace. Tony and Ingrid tumble through spacetime, searching for themselves in each other.

A meditation on grief, consciousness, and the fluidity of self, Chalk Outline Portal unfolds as a raucous romp through surrealities that coexist and collapse in real time.

Hi everybody! So, we’re ready to birth this baby. We’ve been pouring all of ourselves into the creative process for about a year now like it’s a matter of life and death. Ha. For us, maybe it is. This is how we process, how we filter, how we express - how we honor our audiences’ time and the times we’re living in. Our new duet is a meditation on grief, consciousness, and the fluidity of self, and it is simultaneously a raucous romp through spacetime.

With pre-production wrapping up, we are moving into production mode. To take the final steps to the premiere, we need your help. If you believe in dance theater, if you believe in live experience, if you believe in making something out of lnothing against all odds, please consider chipping in. WE CAN’T WAIT TO PERFORM FOR YOU.

Something’s opening…
On this , we’re thrilled to share a quiet hint: after more than eight months of development, our newest dystopian danceplay is preparing to premiere in early 2026.

These rehearsal shots by the one and only are an early portal into a world where spacetime bends, identities blur, and endings and beginnings share the same breath.

As a small not-for-profit arts org, Welcome to Campfire grows because of a community of donors who believe in daring embodied storytelling. If our work has moved you, today is a powerful day to support it. Link in bio.
