Collabs: Dream Labs and New Works is a vision of creating opportunities and seeds of new ideas. Farrish has long wanted to work with her community, dear friends, and brilliant friends. In a series of 3 different evenings, Farrish works with other artists in choreography, theater, film, and music to create solos, duets, group works, and short films, alongside her new work Put Out the Fire Dear. Farrish reimagines what it is to work together, and build visions with those who inspire.
