Ace Hotel Downtown Los Angeles and MOO are proud to be hosting THE SERIES on the roof. Inspired by avant-garde social experiments of early surrealist theater, THE SERIES is a multi-disciplinary event created and curated by producer & performer Nicole Disson — pairing artists, dancers, musicians, poets, performers and other wildly creative humans to collaborate together on original, time-based pieces. Each live performance will have a printed component that offers guests an added element of participation, in addition to a fun takeaway art piece. And to top it off, our DUBLAB buds will be spinning tunes throughout the evening.

– Danielle Agami, choreographer and founder/artistic director of Ate9, an experimental contemporary dance company based in LA.
