WHAT’S ON AT VELOCITY
BRIDGE PROJECT 2026 APPLICATIONS
DUE SEPT 1 | NEW THIS YEAR Velocity adopts an expansive definition of the word emerging. For us the word encapsulates emerging relationships between artist and institution, new choreographic partnerships, re-emerging into the scene, emerging into their first choreographic work in their professional career, and more. Whether you are new to Seattle, new to dance making, or are a well known or seasoned Seattle artist who wants to explore a new idea and connect with new audiences, we’d love to hear from you. Reach out if you’d like to talk about how this program reframe could mean Bridge is for you!
ARTIST PROGRAMS
Velocity’s Artist Programs are designed to help artists make and share dance works in Seattle. Our Creative Incubator Programs support the creation and premiere of new dance works. We also have a limited number of Presenting Programs meant to present existing works to Seattle audiences; either through our Guest Artist Series or our Seattle Festival of Dance + Improvisation (SFD+I). These programs, alongside our education programs, are the core of what we do at Velocity.
Some of these programs span years of research and development, so click below to learn more about some of the artists currently creating new dance works through our programs at Velocity.
