Future Forms is a queer-founded, cross-genre performance project that places the creative processes of choreography and electronic composition in direct dialogue.

At its core, Future Forms brings the precision and physicality of contemporary choreography into dialogue with the evolving structures of electronic sound. The result is part performance, part ritual, part club rave experience: an examination in how movement and sound influence one another in real time. Part of the show’s ethos is about reconnecting people with their bodies and creating a space for genuine freedom on the dance floor.

The project is led by EREZ—an artist, producer, and DJ who has performed at festivals like Coachella and Outsidelands, and has been a direct support to the Gorillaz, Dom Dolla, Michael Bibi and more. She works across electronic and experimental genres, and founded In the Open, a queer event series and label in Los Angeles—and TANGUAY, a movement artist and choreographer, currently working with the leading dance company - Gibney Company. Her practice spans stage, film, and cultural spaces, with movement-direction credits for Vogue, Brain Dead, NOWNESS, and more.

A defining element of Future Forms is the partnership between EREZ and Tanguay—not only collaborators but life partners whose relationship shapes the project’s foundation. Their connection informs both the creative development and the overall structure of the show, translating private exploration into a shared, communal experience.

Developed from the pair’s intimate studio practice, Future Forms unfolds across three chapters throughout the night, keeping their connection at the center of the work. The debut edition will introduce two sections: BASE and OUTPUT, with a third section premiering in future iterations. BASE establishes the project’s foundational movement and musical vocabulary through original music created live by EREZ paired with choreography by Tanguay, performed by an exceptional cast of internationally acclaimed contemporary dancers. OUTPUT extends the work into a full rave environment, guided by a curated DJ lineup that fits the sonic universe of Future Forms.
