WHAT’S ON AT VELOCITY
JULY 14 – AUGUST 11, 2024
SFD+I
SEATTLE FESTIVAL OF DANCE + IMPROVISATION
The Seattle Festival of Dance + Improvisation is a vibrant month-long immersion in the Seattle dance community, and a chance to explore with dance practitioners experimenting at the leading edge of dance technique, creative practices, and dance improvisation. Grounded in SFDI’s nearly 30 years of community-building and intergenerational collaboration, this festival is a gateway for new dancers to connect with artists making work in the Seattle dance and improvisation community, and a chance for Seattle-based artists to train and research with internationally renowned artists.
VELOCITY PRESENTS:
FALL SEASON 2024
TWO PROJECTS CENTERING CREATIVE COMMUNITY
Nothing can stand in the way of creative community. At Velocity, we believe in art that amplifies and challenges, reassesses and reinvents. Our two projects this fall mirror this sentiment in their intentions, and walk us towards meaning-making in a world that has often left meaning behind.
First up is MOUTHWATER: A DISABLED DANCE FESTIVAL, three weeks of workshops, parties, and performances organized by a collective of Disabled creatives, including Seattle art stars Saira Barbaric and Mx. Pucks a’Plenty. Afterwards we turn to NEXT FEST NW: TOTAL CHAOS, Velocity’s experimental new works festival, celebrating contemporary dance and movement-based artists innovating in our region. We can’t wait to witness these artists and their incisively fearless perspectives.
