The ensemble piece “Death of The Pugilist: Or, the famous battle of Jacob Burke & Blindman McGraw” is based on contemporary American novelist Daniel Mason’s short story.

Drawing from the musical elements of contrapuntal Bach, minimalistic Philip Glass, blues and Irish folk music, the production creates an experience of story and music that is deeply moving and truly unique.
The talented ensemble features narrator Jem Moore, alongside four exceptional and award-winning musicians: MinTze Wu, Eric Thorin, Joy Adams, and Blayne Chastain.

How to Starve an Artist is a short devised theatre piece that looks at the present conditions in this ever-changing world and asks one simple question: Can the artist endure? A group of eight theatre-makers has come together to conduct interviews with Colorado-based Gen Z artists (age 18-27) seeking to answer this question and turn those answers into theatre. This performance includes direct quotes, inspired poetry, shadow puppetry, original music, and creative movement to explore the issues young artists encounter every day. This collective’s goal is to make you, the audience, reimagine what a “starving artist” is, see how much effort art demands from the artist, understand why artists make art, and how to “feed” them.

Our canine hero, Indy, finds himself on a new adventure with his human owner—and best friend—Todd, leaving city life for a long-vacant family home in the country. From the start, two things are abundantly clear: Indy is wary of the creepy old house, and his affection for Todd is unwavering. After moving in, Indy is immediately vexed by empty corners, tracks an invisible presence only he can see, perceives phantasmagoric warnings from a long-dead dog, and is haunted by visions of the previous occupant’s grim death. When Todd begins succumbing to the dark forces swirling around the house, Indy must battle a malevolence intent on dragging his beloved Todd into the afterlife.

In an era of wildfires, drought, and species decline, Vermejo is proof that restoration is possible. And it’s a blueprint for where it can happen next.

This land, a 560,000-acre reserve in northern New Mexico that has been home to Indigenous communities, roaming bison, elk, and antelope since time immemorial, has seen civilizations rise and fall. In the 19th century, mining came, leaving behind landscapes stripped by time and scarred by industry. But now, something remarkable is happening.
In 1996, media mogul Ted Turner bought this land. Working with science and nature, Vermejo’s passionate stewards helped restore the land to a place of thriving biodiversity and teeming life—from bison and wildcats to urban dwellers escaping to the outdoors.
Shot over 130+ days in this breathtaking landscape, PRESERVED unveils the hidden sanctuary and its unseen wildlife behaviors—bears stealing mountain lion kills, microscopic worlds thriving in water-filled potholes, and animals adapting to a changing planet. Scientists, ranchers, and leading conservationists have come together to help achieve the seemingly impossible—from North America’s largest trout restoration to the return of beaver, elk, and bison. Vermejo, deep with discovery and abundant human history, is a bellwether for what’s possible everywhere.
Year: 2024 | Filmmaker: Ben Clark | Runtime: 94 minutes
Presented by the Boulder Environmental Nature Outdoors Film Festival AND DAIRY ARTS CENTER.

Continuum Opening Party

TICKETS
Celebrate the opening of the Continuum exhibition with an evening of art, music, and connection. Enjoy a live DJ set by Internaleyes, drinks, and conversation as you explore a powerful exhibition reflecting on the cycles of life, death, aging, and the enduring threads that connect us all.
A continuum is a continuous range or series where things blend seamlessly into one another — like the shifting colors of a rainbow, where no single shade ends and another begins. We often divide life into stages — youth, adulthood, old age, life, and death — as though separate from nature’s cycles. But everything moves in loops: death nourishes new life, time is both linear and infinite, and aging is only the visible surface of a more fluid human experience.
Continuum explores how art can spark connection, conversation, and community around these shared truths — the knowns and unknowns of living, dying, and everything in between. The exhibition brings together artists of different generations and disciplines to explore themes of identity, memory, selfhood, the body, grief, loss, family histories, and spirituality. At its core, Continuum is about love — love that crosses time, generations, and boundaries both real and imagined.
About the Music: Internal Eyes

Coming to fruition in the beginning of 2025, Internal Eyes is a producer, song-writer, and DJ based out of Boulder, CO. He draws inspiration from the surrounding beauty of mountainous terrain, deep blue skies, and nature’s inhabitants. Flowing water, birds, crickets, and natural instruments embody the sound of Internal Eyes, supported by deep low ends and atmospheric melodies. Originally from the East Coast, Internal Eyes has a foundational background in hip-hop and house music genres, blending the two with an organic feel to create a sound that captures attention and brings life to textural landscapes.
