​

Evoking the setting of a drive-in in east Austin, 11:11:07 takes place at the studio and homestead of Jonathan Beall's Sertodo Copper. Performing to original music by William West, dancers will move in, out, and around their own cars, which some audience members will be seated in. To provide the dancers' score, these audience members will also tune into the show's own radio station, and involve the cars' headlights within the professional lighting design of Stephen Pruitt. Other audience members will be seated around cars, and with windows down and radios on, these vehicles will inform the dancers movement, generated over three weeks in an environment of fireflies, headlights, and dusky twilight.
