HUT Season 14: An Evening of Movement, Words & Sound
The School for Contemporary Dance & Thought (SCDT) is thrilled to announce the next installment of HUT, an interdisciplinary performance series now in its 14th season. Co-curated by movement artist Jennifer Polins, sound artist Jake Meginsky, and writer Catherine Corbett Bresner, HUT brings together acclaimed artists working at the cutting edge of movement, words, and sound to create an evening of unexpected juxtapositions and radical experimentation.

HUT is known for offering audiences a rare opportunity to encounter new artistic forms side by side.For 14 seasons, HUT has been a hub for experimentation in Western Massachusetts, presenting both internationally acclaimed artists and local innovators. Each evening features three artists working in movement, sound, and words, giving audiences a chance to experience performances they may never have encountered otherwise. By bridging disciplines and communities, HUT reimagines what live performance can be and who it can reach.

This iteration of HUT featured Artists:

MOVEMENT

Jesse Zaritt – An acclaimed choreographer and faculty member at Bennington College’s BFA Dance Lab, Zaritt explores drawing as dancing, weaving together the contemplative and resistive power of movement as a force for social transformation. His ongoing collaborations include work with legendary choreographer Sara Shelton Mann.
Pamela Pietro – A dancer and educator with an international career, Pietro is Chair and Arts Professor at NYU Tisch Dance. Her work spans Asia, Europe, and the U.S., including collaborations with Donna Uchizono, Tendayi Kuumba, Annie-B Parson, and Jesse Zaritt.

WORDS

CAConrad – Iconic poet and ritualist, author of Listen to the Golden Boomerang Return (Wave Books / UK Penguin 2024). Winner of the Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize, PEN Award, Creative Capital Grant, and Lambda Literary Award, their work spans books, sculpture, and international exhibitions, blending (Soma)tic rituals with radical poetics.

SOUND

Andrea Pensado – A groundbreaking sound artist and performer who blends voice, electronics, and noise into densely layered, visceral soundscapes. Pensado’s practice merges the intuitive and the rational, pushing the limits of sonic experimentation.
