XO-interstitium is the culminating work of a three-year collaboration between JmeJames Antonick and Patsy Morris, with music by Geovanny Vega. What began as JmeJames’ vision evolved into an equal collaboration, birthing both this evening-length performance and the formation of our collective, Trash Babe Productions.

The piece explores the interstitium—the space between—of our bodies, our relationships, and shared consciousness. XO-interstitium reaches beyond the physical into the exo-interstitium: the connective tissue of all that is.
Rooted in embodied healing, the work traverses stages of somatic research: in Honey Touch, we co-regulate through touch; in Lantern Consciousness, we invoke play and movement to foster neuroplasticity; in Body Veil, we uncover magick—our innate power through dance. These threads converge in XO-interstitium, a final movement in communion with shared consciousness.
