Phantasma: Actress, TYGAPAW, MORENXXX + TELFAR
About This Event
Phantasma at Paragon pairs Actress, TYGAPAW, MORENXXX and Telfar on a single bill. Each brings a different experimental approach: Actress favors texture and negative space; TYGAPAW frames rhythm as narrative with ballroom-informed pressure; MORENXXX connects divergent club and experimental tendencies through precise pacing; Telfar emphasizes atmosphere and continuity for contemporary dance floors.
