SUMMARY:SFD+I:  ISHMAEL HOUSTON-JONES + KEITH HENNESSEY
DESCRIPTION:Closer\, with music by jose e. abad\nAn improvised performance by Ishmael Houston-Jones (NY) and Keith Hennessy (SF) with live sound by jose e. abad \nIshmael and Keith first collaborated in the mid-90s and have continued for 25 years a deep conversation about art\, collaboration\, improvisation\, race\, activism\, sex\, dance\, history and futures. When they dance together\, the conversation and research continues. Sometimes we fight\, but there is always love. There will be questions\, there will be answers\, and much of the rest is unknown… \nKeith and jose have been in collaboration on multiple performance\, curation\, and teaching projects since 2016 and together have worked with Ishmael in the TRY project since 2020. Our relationships to each other\, to performing improvisation\, and to the worlds around us are the content of the work.

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: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: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:OUT THERE Week 2
DESCRIPTION:Strap in for for OUT THERE\, Velocity’s brand new whiplash of a dance festival October 2–12\, 2025\, featuring West Coast dance artists who are here to f*ck shit up\, and show us what is OUT THERE.  \nOUT WHERE? Not OVER there. HERE! OUT HERE! On the West Coast\, where experimentalism has always been a primary making material of the artists who live here\, pushing our region towards a more connected\, sassier\, imaginative\, expansive\, expressive\, engaging\, intuitive\, sweaty\, and collaborative future! \n  \nNightly Schedule / Each OUT THERE show includes a DJ let PRE/POST show party \nPrevibrations | FREE no RSVP 6pm – drinks + music \nOUT THERE dance show | 7:30pm – two\, thirty minute works by two west coast movement artists \nafterglow |  FREE no RSVP 8:30pm – a party featuring drinks\, dj for dancing and post show conversation at Velocity’s popup bar \n  \nWEEK 2 –  OCT 9–11\n\nJordan MacIntosh-Hougham + \nJesse Freitas (SEA) //\nVanessa Goodman (VAN) with \nTonga Collective (POL) \nThe second week of the festival takes a more cerebral approach to the body. With AI\, where does the organic end and the artificial begin? And looking inward\, is our chemistry our humanity? Both questions blur the boundaries between self and science.  \nSeattle’s Jordan MacIntosh-Hougham and Jesse Freitas\, and Vancouver’s Vanessa Goodman in collaboration with Tonga Collective from Poland show us that our scientific explorations are still of us\, and of the body\, at the end of the day.

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.
