SUMMARY:BASE + RADAR: Featuring Alex Tatarsky
DESCRIPTION:Base partners with Under the Radar Festival to create a new residency that brings Alex Tatarsky to Seattle. Three showings April 10 + 11! \nBase\, in partnership with Under the Radar Festival\, is pleased to announce BASE + RADAR! This new residency initiative brings renowned artist Alex Tatarsky to Seattle for an immersive two-week development process in April 2026\, advancing Alex’s latest project and culminating in public showings at Base on April 10–11. \nAbout Alex Tatarsky\nCalled “a hilarious\, finely tuned absurdist” (Theatre Jones) and “one of the most exciting and hilarious performance artists around\,” (Artspace) Alex Tatarsky makes performances in the unfortunate in-between zone of comedy\, performance art\, dance\, theater\, and deluded rant – sometimes with songs. Sad Boys in Harpy Land\, their spiraling clown play about wanting to die\, enjoyed a sold-out double extended run Off-Broadway at Playwrights Horizons and was named “Best of 2023” by the New York Times\, New Yorker and ArtForum. They are currently touring Dirt Trip (MoMA PS1)\, a decomposing lecture-performance on fear of clowns and fear of compost\, to community composting sites around the country\, and were a featured artist in the 2024 Whitney Biennial. Along with artist Ming Lin\, Tatarsky is one half of the roving poetic research unit Shanzhai Lyric and its fictional office Canal Street Research Association. \nAbout BASE + RADAR\nThis new\, collaborative residency model is designed to give artists an opportunity to develop work in an immersive\, supportive environment while engaging a new community in the work’s evolution. In this inaugural edition\, Tatarsky will experiment with a new piece\, working with long-time collaborators Shane Riley (sound)\, Andreea Mincic (scenic\, costumes) and Iris McCloughan (co-direction\, dramaturgy) as well as a rotating cast of local Seattle-based outside eyes. Tatarsky and collaborators will have 24/7 access to Base and the chance to share their work in two public showings. The residency allows Tatarsky to experiment and refine this work-in-progress in real time prior to its premiere at Under the Radar. \nAbout Base’s 25-26 Pilot Programs\nMade possible through the community support of our Flourish campaign\, our 2025-26 pilot programs\, BASE + RADAR\, Jump / Cut: The Moving Body On Screen\, and Pairings: Collaborations in Movement and Music\, aim to create more space for the making and experiencing of experimental\, multidisciplinary art. Arising organically from conversations with members of the creative community in Seattle and nationally\, Base hopes these programmatic experiments provide compelling opportunities while filling a gap in the local arts landscape. Learn more about our pilot programs here. \nAbout Base\nBase is dedicated to elevating risk and invention in dance\, performance and multidisciplinary art. A space for developing and publicly sharing original work\, Base is committed to addressing experimental artists’ needs for time\, space\, creative freedom and critical discourse. Founded in 2015 by longtime Seattle artists and collaborators Dayna Hanson\, Peggy Piacenza and Dave Proscia\, Base aims to add vibrancy to 21st century art in Seattle and nationally by encouraging artists of all levels to take creative chances\, deepen their practices and share an ongoing flow of fresh\, original work and ideas. Learn more at thisisbase.org. \nSupport for Base\nNow in its second year\, Flourish is our first major fundraising campaign that leverages community support in order to grow and expand in response to local\, regional\, and national demand. Flourish is generating $300\,000 over three years to support three areas of growth: increased artist residencies\, a more robust staff\, and new\, community-facing programs.

SUMMARY:Base Residency Entry Point: Juliana F. May
DESCRIPTION:Please join us Saturday\, March 21\, at 4 PM for NYC-based Choreographer Juliana F. May’s Entry Point! \nFacilitated by Dayna Hanson\, join Choreographer Juliana F. May and dramaturg Hilary Clark for a conversation about their working relationship over the last ten years as they reflect on their last piece\, Optimistic Voices\, and begin to think and envision May’s next work\, “Dreams part III”. \nA Guggenheim and New York Foundation for the Arts Fellow\, Juliana F. May has intertwined practices of choreography and teaching. Since 2002\, her work has been presented by Dance Theater Workshop\, New York Live Arts\, The Chocolate Factory Theater\, Brooklyn Academy of Music\, Joyce SoHo\, The American Realness Festival and Abrons Arts Center\, among others. May has been awarded grants and residencies through The Map Fund\, The Jerome Foundation\, Lower Manhattan Cultural Council\, Foundation for Contemporary Art\, The Brooklyn Arts Council and New York State Council on the Arts. In 2002\, May received her BA in Dance and Art History from Oberlin College\, and\, in 2012\, she received an MFA in Choreography from the University Wisconsin-Milwaukee. May serves as the Artistic Advisor for New York Live Arts’ Fresh Tracks Residency Program and has been on faculty at Sarah Lawrence College since 2017. May’s work “Folk Incest” was nominated for a 2019 New York Dance and Performance Award for outstanding production\, and toured to ImpulsTanz in Vienna\, Austria. In 2025\, May received the Sam Miller Award for performance from LMCC and was the Caroline Hearst artist-in-residence at Princeton University. In November 2025\, May premiered “Optimistic Voices” at BAM Next Wave Festival\, where she was also named the Harkness Artist-in residence for BAM Fisher. In 2026\, May will reprise Optimistic Voices at the Chocolate Factory Theater and MCA Chicago\, among other national tours. \nAbout Entry Points: Entry Points are opportunities for our Resident artists to share their process. They may take the form of a showing\, a conversation\, or another expression of the artist’s imagination. It’s an opportunity for the community to engage with the deep dives the artists undertook during their Residency and\, possibly\, discover a new artist or deepen their connection to an artist they support. \nAbout the Base Residency: The Base Residency is a unique\, artist-curated program offering unrestricted space\, the opportunity to publicly share work\, technical\, marketing\, and administrative support\, travel and lodging for out-of-town artists\, and a fee of $1\,000 per residency week. The ‘25-’26 Residency Season was curated by Parisa Ghaderi\, Joseph Hernandez\, and Keyes Wiley. This year\, the Base Residency offers six artists—three from the Seattle area and three from beyond—two weeks of immersive creative time at Base between January and July 2026. Since 2016\, more than 30 artists have completed Base Residencies as the program continues to evolve and grow within a national context. Meet Base Residency Alumni here. \n“The Base Artist Residency was crucial to the development of RoCoCoCoCo and indeed\, my continued evolution as a creative artist. Having time and space to live in the questions of my work\, to listen to my body\, and to be in conversation with my dancing collaborators teaches me. Base offered me enough time to let the ideas establish themselves. This generosity feels like trust – like the institution/Base trusts the artists\, and this allows the artists to trust the art/themselves.”

SUMMARY:Base Residency Entry Point: Nakisa Dehpanah (SEA)
DESCRIPTION:Please join us Saturday\, February 28\, at 4 PM for Nakisa Dehpanah’s Entry Point! \nLearn more about Nakisa here\, and get tickets here! \nNakisa’s Entry Point invites the public into the research phase of her upcoming project\, Suspended Selves. Six suspended prototype structures will be installed with incomplete skins\, emphasizing process rather than finished work. \nVisitors are invited to create small fabric pieces using prompts and a range of materials focused on memory and presence\, then attach them to the structures. Through this shared act\, layered skins are built collectively. Participants are then guided to move slowly beneath and between the forms\, eventually standing under one\, experiencing the work through both making and embodied movement.

SUMMARY:Base Residency Entry Point with The Bonnies
DESCRIPTION:A one-time opportunity to dance with Kaitlin McCarthy and Jenny Peterson at Base\, January 31 4 PM – 6 PM. The workshop is accessible to all!\nCome join us at Base with our first Residency artists of the 25-26 season with a unique movement workshop! \nEntry Point | Saturday\, January 31 | 4 PM – 6 PM \nMovement Workshop w/ The Bonnies \nAccessible to people of all physicalities\, this 2-hour process workshop alternates verbal and somatic space with imagination work\, embodied meditations\, partner exercises\, and gently held risk taking in play and processing. Can we loosen our grip on reality long enough to let the body lead us into imagining new possibilities? 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:Base Residency Entry Point with Heather Kravas
DESCRIPTION:Since 1995\, Heather Kravas has investigated choreographic\, improvisation and collaborative practices in contemporary dance to explore the edges of performance. For her Base Residency\, Heather Kravas is researching RoCoCoCoCo\, a situation for dancing envisioned as a DIY folk dance that turns into a snowflake\, fractals into a vortex\, veers into a grocery list\, emanates like an aura\, aligns like a pinball machine and collaborates like an ant colony. \nCreated for performers Allie Hankins\, Amanda Morgan\, Symone Sanz\, Sylvia Schatz-Allison and Julia Sloane\, RoCoCoCoCo exploits tension and so-called repetition to create a choreography full of vigor and syncopation. Supercharged\, rhythmic\, precise\, euphoric and tender it proposes a different frame to hold the performers and audience in their complex states of expectation and desire.

SUMMARY:Base Residency Entry Point with Constance Strickland
DESCRIPTION:During her Base Residency\, Constance Strickland will build a physical score for A Study on the Weight of Blackness (Unveils): The Resilience of Being Black\, a solo that merges years of movement memory/ research with vocal investigations rooted in her own poetry and text. \nGoing through a series of seven movements\, Strickland will trace and honor her maternal ancestral heritage\, using voice as a vessel for remembrance and reconnection. She will also continue her exploration of sculptural creation using natural materials such as earth\, wood\, and collected plants. These elements are not merely aesthetic—they are extensions of lineage and land\, grounding the work in a tactile relationship to ancestry\, ritual\, and resilience. \nSpace is limited; we recommend reserving a ticket in advance. Masks are encouraged\, but not required at Base. \nPhoto by Francisco Montenegro

SUMMARY:Base Residency Entry Point: WHAT IS HOLY
DESCRIPTION:WHAT IS HOLY is a performance collage of shared histories\, rooted in the evolving creative collaboration between Alia Swersky and Hannah Rice. The piece weaves together material from past projects while unearthing the emergent question: What is holy? \nOver the past several months\, Alia and Hannah have worked with sound\, choreography\, video\, and improvisation scores to explore their artistic connection—one defined by transition and transformation—beginning to end and a beginning again. \nCollaborators Wade Madsen\, Greg Mares\, Rachel LeBlanc\, and Casey Adams have all contributed essential elements to the development of this performance. \nAudiences are invited to gather on the solstice evening to witness and co-create a space brought to life by this collective of artists—through movement\, sound\, and shared experience. \nSpace is limited; we recommend reserving a ticket in advance. Masks are encouraged\, but not required at Base.

SUMMARY:Base Residency Entry Point: Hannah Simmons + Alethea Alexander
DESCRIPTION:Please join us at Base on Saturday\, March 1 at 4:00 pm for a work-in-progress showing by 2024-2025 Base Resident Artists Hannah Simmons + Alethea Alexander. \nDuring their residency\, Hannah and Alethea will develop a methodology for Failure Lab: an exorcism of their “worst ideas.” They will sift through their backlog of unmade performance works to see what “terrible” ideas have to offer them. Trash\, incoherence\, decay\, and regurgitation will be expected and celebrated. \nSpace is limited; we recommend reserving a ticket in advance. Masks are encouraged\, but not required at Base.
