unstitch is a big-hearted and unadulterated tour through the organs of a soft and scarred body being torn apart at the seams. Artist Anna King Skeels takes us through the journey of a fat queer person. This work in process examines our relationships with others and the trauma we have endured with our bodies. Centering movement and fiber arts, the gutsy, fluffy unstitch invites you to FEEL.

Freshworks is KST’s creative residency for Pittsburgh-based artists and collaborators. It supports playful exploration in performance through interdisciplinary work in contemporary dance, theater, music, and multimedia. The program provides artists with financial resources, studio space, production staff, lighting and sound design, professional development, and encouragement for creative risk-taking.
