Diana Cabrera and Ross Turman | Dan Hoy, Sarah Saturday, and Garage Collective
Own Sound
And once again, here we are. Trying to feel the essence of you, trying to understand ourselves, trying to make sense of this bond that rises beyond the ordinary, trying to hear what’s hidden behind the sound.
The Galaxy Cut is a movie distilled to its elements — narration, sound, projection, movement, and stillness – and experienced by the audience as a collective, imaginative act of creation. This collaborative multimedia, movement-focused performance is an adaptation of a novelization for a movie that doesn’t exist.

Asheville-born composer, arranger, and multi-instrumentalist Ross Turman is a Berklee College of Music graduate whose work spans jazz, classical, and experimental.

The Galaxy Cut is a multimedia, movement-focused performance adaptation of a novelization for a movie that doesn’t exist. The story, written by Dan Hoy, is a first-person, five-act immersion into the real-time/end-times of dreams, campsites, rest stops, galleries, subway cars, satellites, communes, and soundtracks. As the narration of each scene unfolds, the dancers of Garage Co. (Kristen Carrara, McKay House, Emma Morrison, and Amanda Reichert) embody each scene through movement choreographed to an original score by Sarah Saturday. The stage is set by a dream-like sequence of video projections edited together by Sarah Saturday.
