The Human Odyssey Series, curated by Malcom Betts, is a monthly performance showcase series exploring the human connection between the performer and audience. It challenges ideas of self-identity within the movement practices or any other forms of disciplinary practices.  

This showcase will consist of three dance-based art performances ranging from 15 to 20 minutes.
