Swimming the List is for every artist who has ever struggled to continue making art despite the demands of daily life—or anybody who keeps imagining the unknown through the banalities of any given day.

It's a performance, for three nights only, in dance, music, and technology, in homage to the two types of lists that build up simultaneously as we go, writes creator Susie Lee:

One is for the routine obligations where we buy, drive, cook, pay, work, pick up, and start over again. The other is for the creative obligations; we observe, extract, mutate, expand, deviate, and linger.

In this performance, the journey of a single routine day takes place on and through one woman's body—dancer Ying Zhou, with drawings of light appearing on her moving body by Keeara Rhodes, all organized by Lee, former Stranger Genius winner.
