CRASHBOX, 5305 Bolm Rd Unit 12


ARCOS Presents: Short Form, April 17–19, 7:30pm, Crashbox 5305 Bolm Road. “Delicates” by Anna Bauer with Celeste Camfield, “The Tale of the Swamp Witch” by The Clubhouse (Sarah Smith + Gabbi Melton), “Mestizo” by AJ Flores, “Empty Beat” by Nandini Majumdar and Venese Alcantar, A performance fusing Hindustani music, contemporary dance & improvised movement.



ARCOS Presents is a production mentorship program for “emerging-into-self-producing” dance artists based in Austin. The program serves as a laboratory to prepare artists to be nimble, courageous, and willing to take creative risks by tackling tough ideas in new ways. The 2025 ARCOS Presents: Short Form awardees present a bill of new dance works while gaining skills and growing capacity in all aspects of producing art on their own terms.

  • “Delicates” by Anna Bauer with Celeste Camfield
  • “The Tale of the Swamp Witch” by The Clubhouse (Sarah Smith + Gabbi Melton) 
  • “Mestizo” by AJ Flores 
  • “Empty Beat” by Nandini Majumdar and Venese Alcantar 

Each of the selected short-form artists are making the most of what the ARCOS Presents program provides: financial support for a production budget, technical inventory access, rehearsal and performance space, and creative thought-partnership from technical production to outreach. ARCOS is delighted to guide these artists through the process of producing their projects for audiences at CRASHBOX.
