ARTIST BIO + PROJECT DESCRIPTION

I remembered what it smelt like when you walked through the room | DaeZhane Day

discusses the trauma in black children witnessing substance abuse in their parents. This exposure therapy approach relives the most tender moments as an adult, and as a child, seeing myself as a memory but also as a reflection of who I have become. Combining the deep metaphysical experience and rhythmic pulses that live within hip hop and contemporary performance, this work will fuse the two aiming to  bridge these current movement influences with a creative process that invites each dancer to excavate their own memories, through unspoken but deep connection between the dancers and the audience.

EMERGING CREATIVE INCUBATOR

Bridge Project is Velocity’s Emerging Creative Incubator, supporting experimental dance artists who have been making work in the greater Seattle area for 5 years or less and who self-identify as an emerging dance artist.

In this program, Velocity provides time, space, and money to research a new dance idea, and is introduced to foundational self production skills through the process of making and performing a new, 20 minute work. The Emerging Creative Incubator Program acts as an introduction between artists and Velocity, as well as Seattle audiences, and established artists for feedback.

PROGRAM SUPPORT

The Bridge Project is a core residency program, and supported by the Raynier Foundation along with Velocity’s season sponsors and community of individual donors. The Bridge Project is presented in partnership with Base.
