Phillips and Reyes present Nightfall on Nimbora
Morgan Phillips and Joey Reyes welcome you into their collaborative world-building, where interdisciplinary collaboration presents an ethereal landscape of experimental sound and contemporary pole. Nightfall on Nimbora is an escape into the depths of fiction and the creature-esque. Acknowledging that freedom of choice is both a privilege and an opportunity, they encourage all to push onwards and embrace transformation. By presenting contrasts in both movement and sound, they offer entry points into the depths of what your own world-building can become. Please join Morgan and Joey at Nightfall on Nimbora.About the Artists
Morgan Phillips
Morgan Phillips is a freelance dance artist originally from Mesa, Arizona. She began her dance training at a local studio before relocating to Salt Lake City, Utah to further pursue contemporary dance. There, she performed with SALT Contemporary Dance Company, Repertory Dance Theater’s Emerge, Wasatch Contemporary Dance Company, Myriad Dance, Cat + Fish Dances, LajaMartin, Fem Dance Company, The Woods Project, SB Dance Company and more.
Alongside contemporary dance, Morgan is a pole artist who has created and performed original works rooted in contemporary movement. Her work is explorative and often plays with contrasting movement qualities, displaying “ease and physicality.. both stability and risk” according to loveDANCEmore. Since relocating to Austin, Texas, she has collaborated with konverj/Austin and TY&CO. She currently shares her unique approach to pole dance as an instructor at Black Box Creative.
Joey Reyes
Joey Reyes is a cellist, composer, and creative technologist who has scored art installations, restorative yoga workshops, plays, and nature films. His live performances are enrapturing, described by the Austin American-Statesman as “simultaneously soothing and supernatural, and absolutely worth witnessing.”
For his debut full-length album, Spilling Open, Joey Reyes has earned praise from Revolt of the Apes for creating “a record that invites you to sink in, stay awhile, and let the edges between sound and self soften. Highest possible recommendation.” The album is out now digitally, on pink vinyl, and as a limited-edition tape through Aural Canyon.
Joey Reyes has performed at SXSW, Le Guess Who?, Flying Island, New Media Art and Sound Summit, and Levitation Fest, and he has collaborated with Little Mazarn, Thor Harris, Future Museums, BLiPSWiTCH, Forklift Danceworks, Water Damage, Bill Baird, Ruby Fray, Tan Cologne, and many more.

Fusebox Festival presents Hannah Spector
Some Crumb of God🎬 30 min
This performance is about the Luling Watermelon Thump. It’s about “The Meanest Texas Town”. It’s about spitting watermelon seeds in 110 degrees. It’s about Hannah Spector’s family, who came from Mexico as migrant farmers. It’s about the Braceros Program. It’s about watching bodies writhe.
Spector will weave together live tape loops, synth, and multichannel video to tell of their fascination with the annual Luling Watermelon Thump.
Rude Mechs is supported in part by the City of Austin Economic Development Department. -
Fusebox Festival presents Michael Anthony Garcia
You Are Here🎬 20 min
Interdisciplinary artist and independent curator Michael Anthony García collapses the boundary between making and curating, presenting a live, performative reading of ekphrastic poetry in direct conversation with the work of six painters. Staking claim to space, in times of instability and defining its parameters through the ether, García creates community and reminds us all that “You Are Here”.
