Arts On Site Announces The Film Premiere Of Dual Rivet's IN CAPSULE

Arts On Site has announced the film premiere of Dual Rivet's In Capsule, February 24-26, 2022 at 7:30 PM at Studio 3R, 12 St. Mark's Place, NYC. Tickets are $30 and can be purchased online at artsonsite.ticketleap.com/studio-3r-performances/.

In Capsule is a short dance film exploring the concepts of reality and perception. The film follows two women who are stuck in man-made, monochrome boxes, with no sense of the natural world. Through movement, we see these women living parallel lives, searching for meaning in the confines of their prescribed spaces until finally breaking free. Watch a trailer for the film below!

The premiere of In Capsule will be paired with an evening of live performances as well as a reception.

"Arts On Site began presenting artists in 2016 at 12 Saint Marks Place," said Chelsea Ainsworth, Executive Director of Arts On Site. "After 350 shows throughout the pandemic, AOS decided to build out a new performance space, Studio 3R, in May 2021 and began presenting artists in June. The space includes newly-installed new black curtains, professional lighting, a marley floor, and risers for audience seating. We are so pleased to offer artists an intimate, professional, new performance space in NYC."
