crush 21 is a dance. ohh godohfuckohshit. it’s that season again and this year instead of dead bumblebees on the sidewalk it’s dying wasps on the windowsills. swarms of ants on the bathroom shelves. they got into the cough drops & refuse to pay rent. i’m having the best summer i’ve had in years. i can’t kiss anyone for another six to twenty-four months. when death threats didn’t work you tried the opposite (when you write this we’ll kill you). finally i can read again (again) & of course i’m writing in your voice. don’t you dare don’t you DARE twist this against me oh god. meaning-making is not objective except when it is (you have to let us know) & of course you’ll take it however you please. please don’t ask me to tell the future or read your mind or use a comma i promise i’m doing everything i can
DANCE… the final frontier!
OUT THERE is an experimental dance festival featuring West Coast dance artists who fearlessly push boundaries by making their wildest ideas happen on stage. These artists are here to f*ck shit up, and show us what is OUT THERE.
OUT WHERE? Not OVER there. HERE! OUT HERE! On the West Coast, where experimentalism has always been a primary making material of the artists who live here, pushing our region towards a more connected, sassier, imaginative, expansive, expressive, engaging, intuitive, sweaty, and collaborative future!
No limitations, the possibilities are boundless! *trumpets blare*
Come watch these choreographers’ new dance works over two weeks– two different weekends and two different lineups made just for you!
Quickly! Look to the skies and summon the mothership! You’ll be absolutely wrecked (in a fun way) by the energy of West Coast Dance with shows, music, and great drinks. Get your tickets today so that you can say… “Those dance shows were f*cking OUT THERE!”
