April’s full moon is the Pink Moon, and the gathering is hosted by Will Courtney + Minna Lee.

ABOUT NIGHTLIGHT

NIGHTLIGHT is a late-night gathering inspired by full moon feelings and the need to come together when and how we can! Instigators Fox and Moonyeka invite a rotating group of featured artists to create an invitation/incantation for the digital realm that offers people a chance to indulge their desire to party, transmute, manifest, and dance hard. Instructions on how to engage during the event will be shared by artists beforehand. Artists will also offer party-goers a gift to mark each special occasion.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS

Will Courtney

Will Courtney (she/her he/him they/them) is a transgender artist and a Gender Tender all-star. She was the first performer Fox invited to dance with him for Gender Tender research and development when it all started in 2012. Will has been a lead performer for many GT projects and after the first few years of performing began to expand her role in GT working with Fox as an artistic consultant, rehearsal director, and producer ($$$) for GT performances. As a performance duo, Fox and Will gleefully mine the blurry line separating their personal relationship and their very queer performance chemistry.
