Sunday, September 13, 3-7:30PM –  SH/CD Company Open Rehearsal of Vessel w/ performers Nikki Assanti, Taylor Black, Ammara Shafqat, Cynthia Thompson, and Keon Washington. Witness live rehearsal as Shannon Hummel develops her latest work-in-progress Vessel, featuring performers Nikki Assanti (NYC), Taylor Black (Richmond, VA), Ammara Shafqat (Charlottesville, VA), Cynthia Thompson (Staunton, VA), and Keon Washington (NYC).

Vessel drifts through questions of impermanence, love, loss, memory, and the fleeting strangeness of being alive. At once intimate and expansive, the work lingers in the space between meaning and meaninglessness, asking what we carry, what carries us, and what remains as everything changes. Developed throughout the 2026–2027 season at Richmond Movement Center, this open rehearsal offers audiences an inside look into the creative process of SH/CD.
