Velocity Presents Next Fest NW: Revolve/Revolution

FEATURING NEW WORK FROM AKOIYA HARRIS, ANDREW MCSHEA , JENNY PETERSON + KAITLIN MCCARTHY, AND THE ANFRACTUOUS PROJECT
Next Fest NW is Velocity’s experimental new works festival, celebrating contemporary dance and movement-based artists innovating in our region. This year’s festival features four pieces curated by Fox Whitney, Alyza DelPan-Monley, Elby Brosch, Marco Farroni, Miss Texas 1988 in response to the theme: REVOLVE/REVOLUTION. This festival revels in the breadth of creative response that can come from a singular unifying theme. We invite you to delve into the creative explorations of artists in our region and contemplate your own connection to this year’s theme.

“REVOLVE/REVOLUTION was sparked from an inquiry about the wheel: invention, innovation, cycles, revolutions. The wheel as a tool, the wheel as metaphor, the wheel as a way of moving forward, while also continuing to return back around, again and again.
