***Please note that Cornish College of the Arts utilizes Theatrical haze and fog for many productions. If atmospheric elements are a part of a production’s design, there will be two performances without the use of Haze and Fog. Those performances will be publicized in advance.

Alethea Alexander is a Seattle-based dance artist and educator. Community, sensuality, care, effort, subversion and collaboration are central tenets of her creative work with dance partners human, object, site and sonic.

Hilary Grumman is a Seattle-based artist, educator, and community organizer. Drawing on training with international practitioners, and 12 years of personal floorwork research, she directs Undercurrent, a dance company nurturing floorwork technique, experiential design, multi-media performance, and care-centered community building since 2017.

Tracey Wong 黃麗塋 (she/her) is a queer Teochew-American interdisciplinary dance artist that lights up and inspires spaces through her art. She was born and raised in Seattle, WA in the Beacon Hill neighborhood, raised by her loving parents who were refugees from Vietnam. One of her purposes is to help us remember to play, connect with our intuition, and for our bodies to genuinely express to heal and to connect to our humanity.

Amy O’Neal is a dancer, choreographer, curator, and dance educator merging contemporary and street dance since 2000 to challenge notions of race, gender, and the sampling nature of innovation. She creates for concert dance, experimental performance, dance film, music video, and virtual reality and has toured eight acclaimed evening length works nationally and internationally.
