The longer he is denied citizenship in the United States, the more material Gabriel Mata has for his dances. At Atlas Performing Arts Center’s 11th annual Intersections Festival, the choreographer debuts his third solo show exploring his status as an undocumented immigrant. He’s a talented contemporary dancer, busy earning an MFA at the University of Maryland, performing with other local companies, and developing his own dances. Mata came to California from Mexico as a young child, and arrived in D.C. two years ago to be with his partner. In This is where/I Begin… Mata muses on the concepts of “home” and “citizenship,” asking how a body can feel at home in a country that doesn’t recognize it. To help hone an abstract notion, Mata employed a dramaturg for the first time. He also chose an hour-long, extant piece of music by contemporary composer Michael Wall, knowing his movement and ideas would all need to fit within a framework. “There’s not one way to experience or express this,” Mata says of his immigration status. He’s right. But while there may be 700,000 DREAMers in America, there’s only one in D.C. making such affecting dances about citizenship limbo. The performance begins at 8 p.m. at Atlas Performing Arts Center, 1333 H St. NE. $25. (202) 399-7993. atlasarts.org. —Rebecca J. Ritzel

CITY LIGHTS : SATURDAY HOOK

Rather than hip-hop hotbeds like L.A. or the Bay Area, rapper Hook is from Riverside, out in California’s Inland Empire. And while she proudly claims it, the IE is more a place to be from than to be in. “It’s nothing, there’s nothing there, you feel me?” she told The Fader last year. “There’s not much to do. Everybody leaves to go out and do shit.” For the 21-year-old upstart, music has been her way out of Riverside for a minute; she grew up performing in girl groups before deciding to be a rapper full time. And while she’s only been releasing music as Hook for less than a year, she’s already making a name for herself with tracks that range from finger-snapping posthyphy jams to hazy SoundCloud rap headbangers. But what really sets Hook apart is a staccato, whispery flow that gives character to even the most back-to-basics lyrics. “Bitch, I’m a girl, but I still am the man,” she boasts on the title track of her latest album, “Crashed My Car.” “You can try to win, but bitch, you can’t.” Hook performs at 8 p.m. at Pen Arts Gallery, 1701 N St. NW. $15. femmecase.eventbrite.com. —Chris Kelly
