Violets on Smoke ROOMS

Antoinette Bianco & Spike Friedman Quarantine

Examining the shared confines of apartment city living and the relationships between those who live both together and alone.

Isolated from the wider world and caught in the loop of their own memories, two people reckon with what they’ve created and what they’ve destroyed.

Faith Helma I HATE POSITIVE THINKING

Lucy Lee Yim Devastation Melody

A defiantly half-assed shakedown of the self-improvement industry, using charts, semi-coherent rants and experiments with the audience.

A dance performance that is a song. Metaphor and emotion emerge from the landscape, materializing into sensorial, intangible objects.

Markeith Wiley 31 and Counting

Dani Tirrell The Beautiful

Several characters visit a man in a living room to talk about the experiences of a black man in today’s America.

A semi patriotic, gender non-conforming Butch Queen, some Heels, some Drag and a little bit of Thug Realness.

Nancy Ellis Nancy’s NANCY

Andrew Hallenbeck the sleeping beauty

A middle-aged dancer takes a spin down memory lane prompted by the premiere of a dance based on herself.

She dances for you. He postures before you. They ask the question: “When I wake up, will I then be beautiful?”

Travis Clarke & Benjamin Kamino THE JOURNEY IT TAKES

Adriana Hernandez Mujer Bonita

There is a certain journey it takes to encounter the unknown. Two strangers meet on stage in a performance.

A beauty shot of what traditionally is expected of a woman in Hispanic culture.

LED Barbarian Princess

Tim Smith-Stewart Awaiting Oblivion...

Dance, projection, and live music reveal the beautifully toxic love affair of Zelda Fitzgerald.

A team of artists accepts the demands of an anonymous street artist who tasks them with performing temporary solutions for survival.

Members of Seattle Irish Dance Company

MascallDance The Outliner Project: Graft

Two dancers explore traditional rhythms while engaging in non-traditional music making.

A dinosaur array of spines and sticks helps guide a solo dancer through lines in space.

Jessica Jobaris & General Magic A Great Hunger

PE|Mo Anatomy of an Accident

A Shangri la-like chamber play that confronts loneliness, binge eats Nietzsche, and heeds the relentless inner calling to stay perpendicular.

A dissection of the layers and the impacts on people and communities when something goes wrong. Design by Erin Jorgensen
