<p>As the British Industrial Revolution dawns, young Ada Byron Lovelace (daughter of the flamboyant and notorious Lord Byron) sees the boundless creative potential in the “analytic engines” of her friend and soul mate Charles Babbage, inventor of the first mechanical computer. Ada envisions a whole new world where art and information converge—a world she might not live to see. Jane Austen meets Steve Jobs in this poignant pre-tech romance heralding the computer age. Second year MFA director Kristie Post Wallace directs.</p>

<p><span>Someone sneezes. Someone can’t get a signal. Someone won’t answer the door. Someone put an elephant on the stairs. Someone’s not ready to talk. Someone is her brother’s mother. Someone hates irrational numbers. Someone told the police. Someone got a message from the traffic light. Someone’s never felt like this before.<br data-hj-ignore-attributes="" /><br data-hj-ignore-attributes="" />In this fast moving kaleidoscope, more than a hundred characters try to make sense of what they know.</p>
<p><span><i>dis/re/connection</i> is a new collaborative performance that explores connection, disconnection, and reconnection. How have we, and do we, connect with each other? With ourselves? How do we disconnect from others and ourselves? And ultimately, what is reconnection? What does it feel like? What can it be? Presented through vignettes, music, poetry, movements, and scenes all created by the ensemble, this meditation poetically asks us to reckon with ourselves and to ultimately persist.</span><u></u><u></u></p>
