A semi-public place for changing
The Locker Room will always be a place to strip down and change. A space for those playing hard, working overtime, shifting roles. For the hands that tie the knots, carry the trays, fix the wigs, wash the brushes. For the ones who keep showing up, keep practicing. For everyone who is unapologetically themselves and leaves it all on the field.
Our program moves with urgency and irreverence, shaped by the surrealism and absurdity of the current reality, with a deep respect for overlooked labor and the gestures that sustain a world. We’re here to reflect the moment while it’s still happening—and maybe, to become how the moment is remembered.
Arenas change. Rules shift. The work continues.
