Bridgman|Packer Dance - WHAT IF - Showing and Artist's Talk
Friday, February 27, 2026, 1930 - 2100
Hillsborough College's Visual and Performing Arts Series invites you to experience WHAT IF: A Work-in-Progress Showing from the groundbreaking Bridgman|Packer Dance, followed by an Artists Talk with the creators themselves.
Art Bridgman and Myrna Packer have spent four decades pushing the boundaries of live dance-theater, weaving video technology into performance in ways that blur the line between body and image, past and present. Their newest work asks the questions we all wrestle with: What is truth? What is memory? What if your life had unfolded differently?
Inspired by Paul Auster's novel 4321, WHAT IF brings Bridgman and Packer face-to-face with their own younger selves, projected through decades of archival footage and transformed into a living visual landscape of static, distortion, and reimagined memory. It's part dance, part time travel, entirely unforgettable.
This is your chance to see art being made, and to hear directly from the artists about how and why they make it.
Friday, February 27 | 7:30 PM
HC Mainstage Theatre, Ybor City Campus
$15 General Admission | Free for HC Students, Faculty and Staff with I.D.
