Rochelle Fabb and Joan Spitler, performance artists once described by the Los Angeles Times as a duo who should be "brought to the attention of David Lynch," will reunite for "And This," a limited performance at Crazy Space at 18th Street Arts Center on Sunday, March 8.

The show marks the first collaboration between Fabb and Spitler in 18 years. The production, presented by Spitfabbler and organized by MKNstudio.org as part of Crazy Space Returns, will feature three showings at 1 p.m., 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. Admission is free. Jarred Cairns joins the cast.

Fabb, a nomadic artist, recently appeared at the Venice Off Off Biennale in "ArtHags" and at the Venice Floating Film Festival in "Poseidon's Heels." She has performed with Asher Hartman, Rachel Rosenthal, Marilyn Arsem and the performance ensemble Empire of Teeth.

Spitler has worked in film and television and designed prop cakes for the entertainment industry. A longtime apprentice of Rachel Rosenthal, she was a member of the Tohubohu improvisation collective.

Cairns studied and performed with Rachel Rosenthal as a member of Tohubohu and with Rudy Perez, and performed in Deborah Oliver's "Irrational Exhibits."

The production features wall art by Curt LeMieux and Marley Van Peebles and support from Rachel Rosenthal's Espace DbD.

18th Street Arts Center is located at 1629 18th St. #2, Santa Monica.
