SUMMARY:Planetary Dance
DESCRIPTION:Dance artist Lucie Baker will lead a group through Anna Halprin’s noted Planetary Dance community ritual. Planetary Dance is a participatory ritual of healing and community renewal created in 1980 by legendary dance pioneer Anna Halprin. Designed as a dance for peace\, it invites people of all ages and abilities to walk\, run\, or stand in concentric circles around a central group of drummers to create a moving mandala. The dance is rooted in engaged community activism and offers an opportunity to process grief\, celebrate resilience\, and dedicate one’s movement to a personal or global cause. Learn More about the Planetary Dance HERE and watch Anna Halprin discuss the practice in THIS short film. You can RSVP for the event HERE.

SUMMARY:Pile Up with HeapTroupe
DESCRIPTION:In collaboration with performers: Alethea Alexander\, Leah Crosby\, Leo Othón\, Ben Swenson-Klatt \, The Pile-Up residency maps the space taken by car culture in the landscapes of cities and the psyches of its citizens. Within Freeway Park\, a wildlife crossing for humans bridging the arteries of I-5\, we will personify the Motordom and become infected by road rage\, congestion\, and car-brain; the symptoms that drive us Car Sick. \nAbout Heap Troupe: \nHeap Troupe is a Seattle-based interdisciplinary performance troupe that has been creating site-specific and interactive performances since 2019. Heap uses play and experimental theatrics to celebrate abundance\, while critiquing overconsumption. Inside the fantasy worlds they build\, Heap queers reductive ideas on bodily autonomy by drawing parallels between humans and objects; bicycles\, ladders\, oranges\, etc. This collaborative project is directed by movement artist Kara Beadle\, in collaboration with musician and handyman extraordinaire Andy Zacek\, and several rotating artists. Kara’s choreographic process uses character building tools from role-playing games and structured improvisation\, gearing their aesthetic to be easily approachable to non-dancers\, using humor and props to stimulate empathy. Andy uses parts\, hardware\, trash and junk to create the sets and costuming to further develop the fantasy worlds that these characters inhabit. \nHeap has performed in On The Boards Spectacle Spectacular\, Next Fest Northwest: Rupture/Reverence\, Texas Dance Improvisation Festival\, Co’s Show 5\, Space Station Dance Residency in St. Lewis\, the Walk Don’t Run Art Marathon\, Georgetown’s Art Attack\, The Shed’s Freeform Residency Showing\, The Flight Deck Residency Showing\, 18th and Union’s Portable Performance Festival\, Velocity Dance Center’s Fall Kick-off: Portals\, Launch\, TakePause\, and The Seattle International Dance Festival.

SUMMARY:HeapRide: Freeway Park
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a pre-ride event from 1-2pm at Freeway Park’s James R. and Mary Lou Ellis Plaza. Get a coffee\, come and go as you please\, and watch performances pop-up around Freeway Park’s Convention Center Plaza. There will be a 10min group performance at 2pm to send off the group bike ride! \nHeap Troupe\, a Seattle-based performance troupe co-founded by Kara Beadle\, Andy Zacek\, and several collaborators\, are excited to announce the first large-scale performance experience\, HeapRide. HeapRide is a series of three 3-hour guided group bicycle ride featuring pop-up performances along the routes and stationary performances at Tailwind Café and Freeway Park. \nBecause dance and bicycling are both powerful mediums of social change\, Heap uses movement\, costumes\, and sound–shaped by their experiences as bicyclists–to spark conversation about our city’s efforts toward making alternative forms of transport more accessible\, while critiquing the continued predominance of car usage. \nThis event is presented by Kara Beadle who is a City Artist Grant recipient funded by the City of Seattle Office of Arts & Culture. This project is fiscally sponsored by Velocity Dance Center.
