SUMMARY:Heather Kravas: RoCoCoCoCo
DESCRIPTION:RoCoCoCoCo — A Situation for Dancing\, in Four Movements\n\nI. March 26\, 7:30 PM · one hour | First Movement: Allegro Symone Sanz & Julia Sloane\nII. March 27\, 7:30 PM · one hour | Second Movement: Adagio Carlin Kramer & Amanda Morgan\nIII. March 28\, 7:30 PM · one hour | Third Movement: Andante Allie Hankins & Sylvia Schatz-Allison\nIV. April 2\, 7:30 PM · one hour | Finale & Coda | The Cast\nV. April 3\, 7:30 PM · four and a half hours (with intermission and shared refreshments) | The Symphony | The Cast\nVI. April 4\, 2 PM · four and a half hours (with intermission and shared refreshments) | The Symphony | The Cast \nSince 1995\, Heather Kravas has investigated choreographic\, somatic\, and collaborative practices in contemporary dance to explore the edges of performance. For Made in Seattle\, she offers RoCoCoCoCo—an evolving cycle of four dances\, shared across four evenings and culminating in two full-length presentations of the complete work. \nImagined 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\, RoCoCoCoCo slips beyond classification. \nInstead\, it proposes a new structure for performance—one that holds dancers and audiences alike in states of heightened attention\, curiosity\, and desire. Guided by the somatic dramaturgy of longtime collaborator Rebecca Brooks\, RoCoCoCoCo is created for Allie Hankins\, Carlin Kramer\, Amanda Morgan\, Symone Sanz\, Sylvia Schatz-Allison\, and Julia Sloane. The work traces the layered effort of dancing together—energetic\, rhythmic\, precise\, and tender. It invites us to sense how intimacy scales\, how perception expands\, and how dancing itself becomes a site for both clarity and complexity—a space of shared and essential presence. \nRoCoCoCoCo takes place in the black box of 12th Avenue Arts\, with spectators seated on three sides of the stage. The dancers share the space with two pianists performing Terry Riley’s Keyboard Study No. 1 on upright pianos bound back-to-back. The live sounds of the theater—breath\, footsteps\, resonance—are at times amplified\, at times overtaken by electric music. Lighting\, designed by longtime collaborator Madeline Best\, shifts\, echoing the slow transformations of daylight in nature. \nAudiences are invited to experience RoCoCoCoCo in many ways: as singular performances that stand on their own; as a sequence unfolding across several days; or as the complete work\, gathered in the final two evenings.

SUMMARY:The Bonnies: I'm on Fire\, You're on Fire\, We're on Fire
DESCRIPTION:Seattle performance duo The Bonnies (Kaitlin McCarthy and Jenny Peterson) merge their decade of comedy dance experience with their “more serious” art practice to debut an evening length joyride of grotesque femininity\, experimental indulgence\, and the intimacy of a friendship 15 years in the making.  \nInspired by the beloved absurdist 1966 Czech New Wave film\, Daisies\, The Bonnies harness their perceived femininity–the silly\, slutty\, trivial\, and excessive–to craft a world where fantasies can play out on a larger-than-life scale: a candy-colored universe of impulse and freewheeling femme chaos. In a collision of eras\, The Bonnies pull from 60s cinema\, Bruce Springsteen’s catalogue\, the cultural phenomenon surrounding Lorena Bobbitt\, and Jenny and Kaitlin’s fantasy bedroom dances–both adolescent and contemporary. Working their way towards euphoria–and the inevitable crash down–The Bonnies (and their rainbow monster puppet alter egos) teeter between vision and delusion\, manifesting a shared destiny built from queer platonic love.  \nThe sound score by Jenny includes subversive covers of nostalgic classics (both 90s club anthems and road trip sing-alongs) side-by-side with sweeping original compositions in synth\, piano\, and voice. Riding the edge of parody into sincerity\, a collection of cultural references collide into something entirely new.  \nVisual design by Kaitlin manifests inside a fully operational set (by Teia O’Malley)\, a color-pop homage to both Věra Chytilová‘s saccharine-hued Daisies and an ecstatic obsession with texture. Two ornately handcrafted wearable art pieces distill the visual ethos into two characters of pure fantasy played by dancers Hendri Wa and Jackson Knappen.  \nAn interdisciplinary escapade through wild imagination\, I’m on Fire\, You’re on Fire\, We’re on Fire grapples with the morally complex territory of fantasy\, violence\, and vulnerability of desire\, cloaked as a ditzy comedy routine.

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.

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.

SUMMARY:SFD+I: ALL THE WAY AROUND
DESCRIPTION:ALL THE WAY AROUND\nBy \nMEG STUART + Doug Weiss\nWith \nMariana Carvalho\nPresented through the Seattle Festival of Dance + Improvisation \nInternationally acclaimed Meg Stuart makes her long awaited return to Seattle with this tour de force evening of music\, dance\, and the thrilling logic of improvisation.\nAll the way around | meg Stuart + Doug Weiss\nIn an intimate concert setting\, choreographer and dancer Meg Stuart meets jazz bassist Doug Weiss and pianist Mariana Carvalho. Together\, they go on an uncharted journey into movement and sound. The light design by Emese Csornai becomes a fourth player\, adapting to unpredictable elements in each new venue. All the Way Around starts with the ballad\, a song of longing and defiance\, and breaks it down into small but meaningful gestures. Tracing and unfurling spirals of memory\, All the Way Around takes a deep dive into what was\, riding the waves between the almost-remembered and the unknown. \nInterested in working with this stellar artist?  Sign up for the SFD+I Research Week and get in the action!

SUMMARY:SFD+I: SPLIT BILL
DESCRIPTION:SPLIT BILL\nFeaturing two new works by \nJungWoong Kim\, rachael lincoln + leslie seiters with contributing direction from bebe miller and amelia rudolph\n\n\nPresented through the Seattle Festival of Dance + Improvisation \n\nTwo works from some of the most compelling names in dance\, showcasing some of the teachers in residence during our beloved Research Week\, the final week of the Seattle Festival of Dance + Improvisation. \n\nDEMON\, AJAR | Jungwoong kim\nInspired in part by a Korean folk tale from Ulsan\, the village Jungwoong is from – a story in which he performed as a young dancer studying traditional Korean shamanistic dance. \nToday Jungwoong is interested in what the story has to say about how one might take action when encountering dark forces. In the folk tale\, a man returns to his home and begins to remove his shoes in the traditional maru threshold of his home. He sees a stranger’s shoes where none should be. Through a door ajar\, he glimpses a demon within his home. In the traditional tale\, the man neither rushes thoughtlessly and aggressively toward danger\, nor does he freeze in hopelessness or fear. Instead he begins to move\, to feel himself and his own power. He begins to dance in the maru threshold. \n  \nFASTCRAFT: THE UNDOING PROJECT | Bebe Miller + Amelia Rudolph in collaboration with Performers Rachael Lincoln + Leslie Seiters\n25-years co-creating and performing duet work made through cycles of slow\, iterative processes\, Lincoln and Seiters attempt “fast craft” as a practice of focus and immediacy\, allowing for unfinished\, messy\, unsure\, and unknown. The project comprises multiple commissioned duets\, each created in a limited encounter with an invited dance-maker and rehearsed and performed as is\, unedited and without development. This approach is our counter to perfectionism\, to fastidiousness\, and to finding closure. The performance offers the pieces as a fragmented collection\, and leaves space for the audience to discover what resurfaces and resonates in the catalog of undone. Bebe Miller and Amelia Rudolph are the first two contributing directors.

SUMMARY:SWITCH: Post-Failure Potentials |  Makisig Akin + Anya Cloud
DESCRIPTION:This piece is deeply visceral and experimental as it dares to reimagine failure as a beginning\, revealing bold new possibilities for queer futures\, radical resilience\, and collective transformation. The politics of values\, identities\, and collective bonds are central. Performers engage in high-stakes and high-risk contexts as the audience is invited into active spectatorship reminiscent of an Olympic event or Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu match. Informed by Jack Halberstam’s The Queer Art of Failure\, martial arts\, improvisation\, and contemporary dance\, the work subverts binaries as it spokes into the power\, politics\, and intimacy of post-failure potential.
