Stay With Me, directed by Nicole von Arx, is an evening-length performance combining dance, theatre, text, and audience participation.

Undeniably influenced by the world we live in today, Stay With Me reveals a series of personal vignettes where the performers attempt to physically connect to each other and with the audience. Amid our global unity, our human connections seem to be falling apart. A shared sense of yearning for our past lives, and our fear for what’s next, prevent us from moving forward.

In Stay With Me – looking both backward and forward in time – Nicole von Arx and her truly exceptional collaborators will invite you to reconnect with the present.

Founded in 2014, NVA & Guests exists as a platform to produce and share the artistic work of choreographer Nicole von Arx. Its mission is to forge genuine connections between audiences and performers by creating interdisciplinary and evocative stage and film works. Grounded in her experience dancing in both the contemporary, immersive, and Off-Broadway dance and theatre scenes, von Arx’s work seeks to begin conversations. It flips our perspective on its head with playful narration and characters who seem to appear and disappear with dynamic physicality to hint at what is seen and not seen. By engaging directly with the audience through interactive experiences and by amplifying universal themes, NVA & Guests carves a space for the viewer and its collaborators to be present in their minds and bodies.
