On March 2-3, “Work Up 4.1” consists of Ainesh Madan’s Phantasies, Evelyn Lilian Sanchez Narvaez’s okay, I’m gunna start now…, and Marion Spencer’s Rosalie. On March 9-10, “Work Up 4.2” features Babay L.

And on March 16-17, “Work Up 4.3” brings together Melanie Greene’s Sapphire, Summer Minerva’s Femminiello/Belonging, and EmmaGrace Skove-Epes’s in search of mirrors, and catch the light just right.
