SUMMARY:Imaginary Observable
DESCRIPTION:Imaginary Observable is a split-bill performance featuring Leah Crosby’s piece The Marine Iguana\, and Alyza DelPan-Monley’s piece It’s About Time hosted at Mini Mart City Park in Georgetown\, Seattle (on unceded ancestral lands of the Coast Salish people.)\nThe Marine Iguana is a 30-minute performance that uses overhead projectors\, analogue image-making tools\, and experimental audio storytelling. It uses the adaptive and maladaptive traits of the marine iguana as a lens to explore misfit bodies\, social behavior\, and persistent friendly ghosts. \nIt’s About Time is a 30-minute performance that invites us into Alyza’s research with the concept of time: systemic measurement\, cultural significance\, permanence\, a lifetime\, watches\, rhythms and more. What will we discover? Only time will tell… In the same vein as their one-person show That’s a Handful!\, It’s About Time is formatted like a cross between a topical podcast and a children’s show. Audience members will have opportunities to participate\, tapping into the joy and grief of time when it flies.

SUMMARY:Ogemdi Ude: MAJOR
DESCRIPTION:Rooted in deep cultural memory and archival research\, six Black femmes channel the power and poetry of majorette dance in a fierce investigation of memory\, sensuality\, and pride.\nMAJOR is a dance theater project exploring the physicality\, history\, sociopolitics\, and interiority of majorette dance\, a form that originated in the American South within Historically Black Colleges and Universities in the 1960s. These Black femme teams\, accompanied by marching bands\, created a movement style that requires master showmanship with allegiance to count\, undulation\, groove\, and sensual yet strong performativity. \nIn MAJOR\, six Black femmes embrace majorette form—a fundamental relic of Black girlhood—to pursue the intimate journey of returning to bodies they thought lost. Experiments in improvised and verbatim language intertwine with a music score that integrates Southern rap\, horns\, drumlines\, and melodic R&B and soul by Lambkin. \nThe Chord Archive is showcased alongside performances\, a physical and digital documentation of the creative process\, and personal historical accounts from former majorette dancers. \nA fierce investigation of physical memory\, sexuality\, sensuality\, and community\, MAJOR is a nuanced love letter to the folks who taught the team how to be proudly Black and proudly femme.

SUMMARY:Ephrat Asherie Dance with Arturo O’Farrill
DESCRIPTION:Ephrat Asherie’s exhilarating choreography remixes street and club dance styles with the live Latin jazz sound of Grammy-winner Arturo O’Farrill. Shadow Cities asks how and why we can feel our most enlivened selves when we are halfway between disparate extremes in time\, space and state. With an amalgam of cultures\, our identities are fixed and infinitely fluid\, our movements malleable and explosive.

SUMMARY:Whim W'Him: Winter '26 (Seattle)
DESCRIPTION:Whim W’Him opens the new year with a powerful winter program that reaffirms its place at the forefront of contemporary dance on the global stage. This program brings back three acclaimed choreographers who continue to help define the company’s artistic identity while expanding the reach of dance as a language of humanity. \nFLOCK\, the creative duo of Alice Klock and Florian Lochner\, reunites with Whim W’Him following their memorable pandemic-era dance film “NOVA”\, created for the company’s digital WHIM-IN platform. Their collaborative process\, rooted in trust\, empathy\, and intuition\, creates work known for its emotional clarity and fluid almost hypnotizing form. \nEmilie Leriche’s first piece for Whim W’Him\, “and if not\, not”\, offered a meditation on change that unfolded inward rather than forward. As she described\, “Sometimes a piece can represent a crossing… not in a from-here-to-there sort of way. But rather in its depth\, in its deconstruction… everything (even ourselves) is entirely changed.” Her new creation continues that journey\, an inward unfolding shaped by her quiet force and introspective power. \nOlivier Wevers\, founder and artistic director of Whim W’Him\, contributes a new creation rooted in his ongoing pursuit of connection\, truth\, and vulnerability. Known for his emotionally honest and visually striking choreography\, his work continues to offer a distinct vision of what dance can uncover in us and between us.

SUMMARY:Whim W'Him: Winter '26 (Seattle)
DESCRIPTION:Whim W’Him opens the new year with a powerful winter program that reaffirms its place at the forefront of contemporary dance on the global stage. This program brings back three acclaimed choreographers who continue to help define the company’s artistic identity while expanding the reach of dance as a language of humanity. \nFLOCK\, the creative duo of Alice Klock and Florian Lochner\, reunites with Whim W’Him following their memorable pandemic-era dance film “NOVA”\, created for the company’s digital WHIM-IN platform. Their collaborative process\, rooted in trust\, empathy\, and intuition\, creates work known for its emotional clarity and fluid almost hypnotizing form. \nEmilie Leriche’s first piece for Whim W’Him\, “and if not\, not”\, offered a meditation on change that unfolded inward rather than forward. As she described\, “Sometimes a piece can represent a crossing… not in a from-here-to-there sort of way. But rather in its depth\, in its deconstruction… everything (even ourselves) is entirely changed.” Her new creation continues that journey\, an inward unfolding shaped by her quiet force and introspective power. \nOlivier Wevers\, founder and artistic director of Whim W’Him\, contributes a new creation rooted in his ongoing pursuit of connection\, truth\, and vulnerability. Known for his emotionally honest and visually striking choreography\, his work continues to offer a distinct vision of what dance can uncover in us and between us.

SUMMARY:kelly langeslay: crush 58
DESCRIPTION:crush 58 is a dance performance by kelly langeslay. it is the sixth crush and not the 58th. this is either plagiarism or an obscure reference that no one would ever understand without context because i am using it in a way that doesn’t make sense. if you come to the show i might tell you more about all that. \ncrush is a fantasy and i promise it is real. it has something to do with queer ghosts and the politics of shrek 2 and impact and maybe roland barthes. \nthere have been crushes before crush 58 and there will be crushes after crush 58 but none of the other crushes will happen here which i think makes this one special. if you have been to another crush there might be overlap because like i’ve mentioned to repeat may seem like to stay in the same place\, but staying in the same place with a difference\, such as by staying obstinately horizontal\, can\, in fact\, spur new lines of connections\, ways of being and resisting. Neither moving forward or backward\, it is through repetition that space and time for thinking sideways occurs ¹ . also some things will be new because as we repeat\, things accumulate and shift & these delusions start to come to life and grow of their own accord since i’ve been feeding them for so long. i will probably feed you too so please let me know your dietary restrictions when you buy a ticket.

These are artists who are groundbreaking in their fields\, displaying quintessential execution of their craft\, pushing the boundaries of their art\, or simply and extraordinarily imbuing their fields with f@ggotry. \nAbout Drama Tops\nSeattle’s [self professed] hottest post-modern\, nightlife performance duo\, and now maybe group. \nDrama Tops is comprised of two faggots who make large scale dance performances\, perform and produce nightlife events\, and run residency programs. Based in Seattle\, Elby Brosch\, the trans fag\, and Shane Donohue\, the tall one\, have been making irreverent yet touching\, impossibly ambitious\, nerveracking\, and thrilling works since 2017. \nTheir evening length works include\, the nationally touring work\, “DADS\,” premiered at Washington Ensemble Theater\, has toured to TBA at PICA in Portland\, OR\, and on its way to Red Eye in Minneapolis\, MN and University of Southern California in Los Angeles\, CA; their smash hit “Boys! Boys! Boys!” presented in Velocity Dance Center’s Made in Seattle program; and their self produced show\, “Drama Tops\, this is for you”\, at Washington Hall. Drama Tops is proud to be a 2024 National Dance Project Recipient. \nDrama Tops frequently guests at drag and variety shows in Seattle including “Tush!” at Clock-Out Lounge\, “High F@ggontry” at The Unicorn\, “Family Meal” and “Sissy Butch” at Kremwerk\, and “Heels!” at Cha Cha. They also produce nightlife events including “Trauma Tops” at Kremwerk\, “After Parties” for “Boys! Boys! Boys!” and “DADS”\, and co-produces “Queers in Motion” at The Cuff Complex with Miss Texas 1988. \nAdditionally\, Drama Tops curates and runs a residency program called “Off the Lead” in which they provide rehearsal space\, stipends\, nonhierarchical feedback sessions\, and a free public in process showing for three Seattle Queer artists every six months.

SUMMARY:Whim W'Him: Winter '26 (Seattle)
DESCRIPTION:Whim W’Him opens the new year with a powerful winter program that reaffirms its place at the forefront of contemporary dance on the global stage. This program brings back three acclaimed choreographers who continue to help define the company’s artistic identity while expanding the reach of dance as a language of humanity. \nFLOCK\, the creative duo of Alice Klock and Florian Lochner\, reunites with Whim W’Him following their memorable pandemic-era dance film “NOVA”\, created for the company’s digital WHIM-IN platform. Their collaborative process\, rooted in trust\, empathy\, and intuition\, creates work known for its emotional clarity and fluid almost hypnotizing form. \nEmilie Leriche’s first piece for Whim W’Him\, “and if not\, not”\, offered a meditation on change that unfolded inward rather than forward. As she described\, “Sometimes a piece can represent a crossing… not in a from-here-to-there sort of way. But rather in its depth\, in its deconstruction… everything (even ourselves) is entirely changed.” Her new creation continues that journey\, an inward unfolding shaped by her quiet force and introspective power. \nOlivier Wevers\, founder and artistic director of Whim W’Him\, contributes a new creation rooted in his ongoing pursuit of connection\, truth\, and vulnerability. Known for his emotionally honest and visually striking choreography\, his work continues to offer a distinct vision of what dance can uncover in us and between us.

SUMMARY:kelly langeslay: crush 58
DESCRIPTION:crush 58 is a dance performance by kelly langeslay. it is the sixth crush and not the 58th. this is either plagiarism or an obscure reference that no one would ever understand without context because i am using it in a way that doesn’t make sense. if you come to the show i might tell you more about all that. \ncrush is a fantasy and i promise it is real. it has something to do with queer ghosts and the politics of shrek 2 and impact and maybe roland barthes. \nthere have been crushes before crush 58 and there will be crushes after crush 58 but none of the other crushes will happen here which i think makes this one special. if you have been to another crush there might be overlap because like i’ve mentioned to repeat may seem like to stay in the same place\, but staying in the same place with a difference\, such as by staying obstinately horizontal\, can\, in fact\, spur new lines of connections\, ways of being and resisting. Neither moving forward or backward\, it is through repetition that space and time for thinking sideways occurs ¹ . also some things will be new because as we repeat\, things accumulate and shift & these delusions start to come to life and grow of their own accord since i’ve been feeding them for so long. i will probably feed you too so please let me know your dietary restrictions when you buy a ticket.

SUMMARY:From Vivaldi's Venice to Leipzig: Bach's Italian Inspiration
DESCRIPTION:While Bach never left Germany\, his musical world was shaped by the vibrant sounds of Venice\, particularly through the works of Antonio Vivaldi. Bach studied many of Vivaldi’s works from the inside out\, making arrangements of Vivaldi concertos to suit his own musical purposes. Experience the expressive power of Bach and Vivaldi arias and Venetian gondola songs as Jacob Perry weaves together soaring melodies and dramatic storytelling. Feel the chill and exhilaration of Vivaldi’s iconic “Winter” from The Four Seasons\, danced by Tshedzom Tingkhye\, Bri Wilson and Alejandro Frederickson in new choreography by Anna Mansbridge. The concert also features dazzling works for trumpet and strings\, featuring baroque trumpet virtuosa Kris Kwapis. Light up your New Year with this program exploring song\, dance and the enduring spirit of baroque Venice – La Serenissma – which so inspired Bach.
