Eleven:Eleven presents LOSING SLEEP

What happens in silence when all you have to listen to is yourself?

This is the question that fueled the birth of Eleven:Eleven in January of 2024 through their opening work Piece One. Now, Eleven:Eleven presents LOSING SLEEP–a culmination of work created over the past two and a half years. The creation of the group itself mirrors the essence of this upcoming project which highlights the serendipity that can occur through dedication to the self and the process of unknowing.

LOSING SLEEP invites audience members into a world of insomnia. Through the wakefulness of night, time slows down. Eventually, clarity is found. Then, an actualized self remembers a younger self: the smell of lake water drying on your skin, the sound of geese migrating at the end of summer, the scratch of a guitar. In the purgatory of twilight, you meet yourself; 20 years ago, 12 years ago, 8 years ago, last year, today.

Reflections of oneself fold in on each other like standing between two mirrors. They emanate from the center of your chest and out into the universe in a never ending string of you. In an homage to coming of age, Eleven:Eleven grasps the truth that the only way out is through the night.

Composed of dancers Adri Polyak, Natalie Bell, Sierra Burnham, Jenna Batchelder, Diana Kim, Janae Walla, and director, Callan Moore, Eleven:Eleven’s magnetic magic emerges on account of the chemistry of these friends. After young years spent seeking, hoping and sleeping restlessly, this collective formed exactly when it was meant to. Informing their ethos: Right Place, Right People, Right Time.
