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: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.

The Bonnies will lead the group through practices used in the creation of their latest piece (I’m on Fire\, You’re on Fire\, We’re on Fire)\, exploring joy\, fantasy\, afterlife\, and other possible selves in a container of agenda-free community research. Absolutely no dance/movement experience required\, this is a space where you can show up as you are and respond to prompts through multiple mediums\, including writing\, drawing\, movement\, and speaking. Touch-free options will be provided for all exercises involving touch. Masks welcome. Please bring a notebook and pen and wear comfortable clothes. Workshop recommended for adults or mature teenagers. \nThe Bonnies (twin flames Kaitlin McCarthy and Jenny Peterson) have been making strange performance works together in Seattle\, WA\, since 2013. Gravitating to the grotesque/off-kilter/marvelous\, their work rides the edges of humor and horror to find transformation and intimacy.

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:Song of the Summer
DESCRIPTION:Picture this: You are speeding down the highway with your best friends. You are on your way to karaoke or some dumb event that you wish you didn’t have to go to. Gazing out the car window\, you watch the world end. You question if your life amounted to anything or your art ever benefited anyone….you briefly wonder if you’re going to scream\, cry\, or throw up….instead\, you decide to quickly make art with your friends because you love each other or whatever. So from a completely shattered and kinda hot place\, you plan a one night only show that explores Robyn’s pop hit “Missing U.” \nThis story? It’s about us– kelly langeslay\, Drama Tops\, and Bluescreen\, making three different dances and showing you them. We will charge admission because it will be pretty cool. If you are thinking about not coming\, just remember that by attending you might just save the world. Yeah\, the stakes are high. If you don’t come\, the world will definitely end in a fabulous explosion of sulfur and fumes. Wow\, that’s on you

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: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:Bridge Project 2026
DESCRIPTION:New works by Miguel Almario\, Olivia Anderson\, Jessica Jobaris & General Magic\nThree brand new works and fresh takes\nBridge Project is Velocity’s Emerging Creative Incubator\, a multigenerational\, intensive process aimed at connecting artists to each other and audiences to dance artists. This year’s Bridge Project features the work of Miguel Almaria\, Olivia Anderson\, Jessica Jobaris after an intensive 5-week rehearsal process at 12th Ave Arts. As an audience member\, you will be invited to engage in a written feedback process that provides the choreographers with valuable information to help with their artist development. \nMiguel Almario | Working TItle: Hard Feelings\nHard Feelings is about cost.  The toll of belonging to a community built on community and competition\, or pushing a body past what it can give\, of choosing an art form that never stops asking for more. \nThe work aims to honor the Black and Brown American roots of street dance while challenging the way these forms are seen\, consumed\, and contained. Hard Feelings carries the weight of both community and confrontation\, and showcases the body as an archive: tracking years of physical pursuit. Every step adds interest. Every injury compounds debt. Through the eyes of an aging mover\, Hard Feelings examines the balance between respect and rivalry\, devotion and decay. \n  \nJessica Jobaris | Fucking Mercy\nRelentless\, irreverent\, and oddly hopeful\, Fucking Mercy\, doesn’t ask for forgiveness; it just wants to see if we can still look each other in the eye after the world’s gone feral. A social autopsy of cruelty\, performed in motion\, this trio becomes a crucible where the urge to dominate collides with the ache to belong. Mercy here isn’t some soft-focus virtue; it’s weaponized\, withheld\, begged for\, and occasionally\, miraculously\, offered. The dancers\, and audience\, stagger between the wretched and the sacred\, testing how much humanity can survive in a body that’s fighting to stay alive. \n  \nOlivia Anderson | Untitled New Work\nThis dance is rooted in improvisation—an act of listening\, surrender\, and response. For me\, movement begins not with choreography\, but with a need: a physical and spiritual need to express what lives inside the body. Dance is first a form of prayer\, a way to connect to self and spirit\, before it becomes performance. As fascism casts a shadow on our horizon\, I wonder: What can art do now? I believe it can do what it has always done—offer a space for resistance\, for remembering\, for rehumanizing. In this piece\, my body becomes both question and answer. Through breath\, emotion\, and embodied storytelling\, I seek to communicate in a language that bypasses intellect and speaks directly to the nervous system. In moving\, I hope to move something in you.
