Instinct

Instinct

Featuring Kayla Marque, Lisa Engelken & Zoid Ham

in·stinct: an innate, typically fixed pattern of behavior in animals in response to a certain stimuli.

Welcome to Instinct, an immersive experience of sound, design & movement. These three elements collide inside Denver’s art incubator, Understudy, with local artists Kayla Marque, Lisa Engelken & Zoid Ham, to be performed live on Sunday, June 30th. Observers are welcome throughout the process to participate in open rehearsals of creating original music, choreography and costuming under one mission; to trust one’s gut instinct and follow first ideas without question.

“Instinct” will take over Understudy for the entire month of June 2019, culminating with a final event on June 30th from 2:00pm – 7:00pm.
