Kindling Arts invites you to embrace the beauty of imperfections at the 2024 Festival, featuring two dozen uniquely captivating performances. This year's lineup offers an array of unforgettable events: an immersive dance-theatre event set in a groovy 1970s soiree, a hilarious sporting competition where furry monsters face off against audience members, and a celebration of an inclusive definition of girlhood explored through a dynamic collaboration of teen songwriters and professional choreographers. Enjoy a live taping of a beloved 90s sitcom where the audience controls the storyline, and a high-flying circus adventure through TV Land. Experience a heartwarming comedy that explores faith and self-acceptance, a hilarious journey through self-humiliation, an ethereal all-Black neo-burlesque production, and performance art showcases that break conventional boundaries and defy classification.
