Together they will unite elements of their collective dance backgrounds swap dancers and present three emotionally-charged performances over two weekends. The concept of producing new pieces in a short time frame is one of the signature components of SIDF.

Jeanne & Elizabeth, an evening of dance accompanied by live classical music. Presented by Doppelganger Dance Collective and Ensemble Warhol in association with Fort Point Theatre Channel and Green Street Studios.

Sometimes the Rain, Sometimes the Sea, a new play by Brown MFA Playwright Julia Izumi, directed by Brown MFA Director, Kate Bergstrom, is inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's most beloved and well-known fairy tale, "The Little Mermaid." This modern adaptation, in which a rain cloud falls in love with a human, transports audiences into a familiar and fantastical world of self-discovery. Told by a mysterious storyteller named Dolan, characters surprisingly find their authentic selves despite the downpour of complexities that accompany their journeys of falling in and out love.

The Flea Theater continues its partnership with Brown University's Writing for Performance program for the second annual playwriting Project Residency, taking place from March 31 - April 3, 2018.

Beginning in the 2018-19 academic year, Brown University will provide scholarship funds to cover the full cost of tuition for all returning and future students in the Brown University / Trinity Rep master of fine arts (MFA) programs in acting and directing.
