Beautiful Carcass World Premiere

Beautiful Carcass is a bewitching world where everything is on display. Hyper-glamorized imagery juxtaposed with the mundane explores a tangled web of shame, pride, humor, despair, isolation and camaraderie. The performers reflect the interplay between objectification and empowerment through strength and resiliency as they navigate an insidious desire to capture and own beauty. In a culture driven by youth, money and competition, glamour is a source of power that quickly becomes distorted. The pursuit of the beautiful body becomes relentless and internalized, an object to be squeezed, sculpted, hacked at and zipped up. Through centuries of subjugation across many cultures the female form has been revered, hoarded, cherished and abused. A dark, alluring carnival for the senses, Beautiful Carcass shines light on womxn’s issues through lenses of intersectional feminism and surrealist fantasy.

BOOST Dance Festival

BOOST Dance Festival

The B O O ST  dance festival is focused on creating opportunities for Seattle contemporary dance artists of all genres to showcase their work alongside their peers with an ever-broadening audience. The hundreds of artists that call the Northwest home complete each year to be showcased in a handful of festivals; the competition is tough, leaving many eligible and talented artists to self-produce at a high financial cost. BOOST aims to assist in the creation of works by the fresh, up and coming artists as well at the seasoned veteran choreographers    

2016 marks the BOOST dance festival’s sixth season as it moves into a bi-annual event celebrating and presenting northwest dance artists. This year BOOST will take over Broadway Performance Hall  in Capitol Hill for an exciting weekend of dance April 30-May 1, 2015.
