Scratch Night – December 2024

Scratch Night is a multidisciplinary salon of works-in-progress from Kansas City’s most exciting generative performing artists. Help shape what’s new and what’s next on Kansas City’s stages by participating in our unique audience feedback framework.
DECEMBER'S LINEUP:
Movement House | Kennedy Banks + Malik Battle
Charlotte Street Studio Resident choreographer/performer Kennedy Banks and KCAI animator/illustrator Malik Battle together form collaborative duo Movement House: “The eye of the storm is one of the calmest, most beautiful parts – eerie, quiet, almost too good to be true. See through the eye that although there is promise of danger and chaos, we can take solace in its temporary-ness.”
Authari | Alberto Racanati + Seth Andrew Davis + Ian O’Neill
Italian born KC-based trumpeter Alberto Racanti, improvisor and new media composer Seth Andrew Davis, and video artist Ian O'Neill collaborate to form Authari. In this improvisational work, the trio will explore the themes and story of Griselda, a medieval tale written around 1353 A.D. within Giovanni Boccaccio’s 'Decameron'.
+ One more to-be-announced artist!
