SLOWBURN Dance Presents: Excavate

Excavate is a contemporary dance work that explores themes of burying, unearthing, and the amplification of individualized reality. Dancers orbit the same physical landscape but exist in alternate worlds, each with only a partial perspective of the space in front of them. This work was choreographed by SLOWBURN Dance Artistic Director Meredith Pellon in collaboration with company dancers Kate Roché-Sudar, Shaley Timm, Elise Meiners, and Madeline Morser.

The work was developed in part by a residency at The Shed, and it premiered at The Shed in November 2022. Exactly one year later, this work will be remounted in Counterbalance Park through a commission by Uptown Arts & Culture Coalition (UACC). This performance is part of the Uptown Storefronts program.

RSVPs are preferred through the event website link listed, but walk ups are also welcome. This performance is free and outdoors. It is roughly an hour long. Counterbalance park is street level and has a mix of bench and chair seating available. There is no designated parking, but a limited amount of street parking is available nearby, and the park is a three minute walk from the 1st Ave N and Mercer St bus stop.
