To move freely is no small thing.

Today, we’re holding gratitude for the bodies, stories, and communities that came before us—those who made space for joy, expression, creativity, and gathering even when the world made that difficult.

As a Black-owned dance company, we carry that legacy with us. In the studio. On the stage. In the ways we care for one another and create community through movement.

Today is for celebration. For reflection. For music, laughter, family, and the simple act of moving together.

Happy Juneteenth.

The roots continue to grow.

For this new iteration of bloom and residue, Rebekah Lazaridis returns to the canvas, creating new artwork that extends the visual world first established through the mural and painted panels of the 2024 iteration.

Just as the dance evolves with each return, so does the artwork. New branches emerge from familiar roots. New layers form atop what came before. The work continues its cycle of transformation.

A glimpse into the making of What Remains.

Tethered conflict.

A rehearsal glimpse of The Devil from What Remains, featuring Jonah Perez-Lopez and Antonio Hernandez. Two bodies caught between resistance and release, confronting the patterns that bind and the choice to break free.

From gallery to film to stage.

Joey Clay has been a collaborating artist on ABOVE/below, helping shape the evolving visual and emotional landscape of the work through photography and film rooted in shadow work and transformation.

The first iteration of ABOVE/below lived as an immersive gallery installation at the Murray Studio Theatre at Ruth Eckerd Hall, where photography, movement, and tarot-inspired imagery surrounded the audience inside the experience. The second iteration transformed into a dance film collaboration with Joey, carrying the work into a cinematic exploration of shadow, fragmentation, and becoming.

Now, the third iteration arrives on stage as part of What Remains—continuing its journey through embodiment, shadow integration, and the pursuit of wholeness.

Wither. Bloom. Become again.

Rebekah Lazaridis has been a collaborating artist on bloom and residue since its inception and continues to help shape the evolving visual world of the work as an Artist in Residence with projectALCHEMY and a 2025 SHINE St. Pete Mural Festival artist.

Created alongside Artistic Director Alexander Jones, the first iteration of bloom and residue emerged in 2019 as a three-room installation experience. The second iteration expanded that world further, incorporating a mural by Rebekah that wrapped the main gallery of The Studio@620, surrounding the dancers and audience inside the work itself.

Now, for the first time, bloom and residue is being reimagined for the stage—carrying the memory of those immersive worlds into a new theatrical landscape.

Costume as extension. Texture as movement.

Since the first iteration of bloom and residue in 2019, Hilka “Iky” Standridge has helped shape the visual language of the work through costume design that moves alongside the dancers and visual world created with Rebekah Lazaridis.

In this process, cloth, body, and image continually inform one another—each becoming part of the same living landscape.

Fragments in motion.

These images from BEACON 26, captured by Sorcha Augustine, hold a second ideation of what would become sections of The Devil and The Tower from ABOVE/below—our ongoing collaboration with resident artist Joey Clay.

What lives onstage is never fixed. The work continues to evolve from rehearsal to performance to the afterlife of the moment itself. A gesture shifts. A relationship deepens. An image reveals something new after it has already passed.

That is the heart of this process: constant motion, continual becoming.

We carry that evolution forward into What Remains this June, where these worlds continue to expand and transform alongside bloom and residue at The Palladium at SPC.

Inside the process of bloom and residue.

Rehearsal for this work is never just rehearsal. It’s remembering, unraveling, revisiting old movement, and wandering into unexpected pathways. Gestures from years ago return carrying new meaning. Side quests become discoveries.

This process with Rebekah Lazaridis continually asks where we are now—and how that reshapes the work.

What’s been especially meaningful this season is watching collaborators from separate projects gather around one shared event—artists witnessing each other’s process, exchanging ideas, and supporting one another in real time.

Captured by Joey Clay, these moments hold the quiet magic between movement, memory, and becoming.

Two worlds. One final gathering.

Join us for What Remains — the final projectALCHEMY experience of the season — on June 27 at 2:00 PM and 7:30 PM at The Palladium Theater.

This evening brings together two interdisciplinary works: ABOVE/below, a dance + photography experience with resident artist Joey Clay, and bloom and residue, a collaboration with resident artist Rebekah Lazaridis exploring cycles of transformation, memory, and return.

Though distinct in form, both works ask similar questions: What do we carry? What do we release? What remains after change, collapse, growth, and reflection?

For the first time, both projects are being reimagined for the proscenium stage—expanding beyond their original immersive and black box environments into a shared theatrical landscape. Photography, movement, fabric, visual art, and embodiment collide in an evening rooted in transformation and witnessing.

One final experience. One shared space.
June 27 — 2 PM & 7:30 PM.
