ARTIST BIO

Sadie (they) is a disabled, queer, Black-mixed movement artist based in Seattle, WA. Sadie has made a slow integration into the local scene, and since moving here, has been fascinated with Seattle’s thriving nightlife culture. From living the lifestyle and through independent study, they have developed a diverse movement vocabulary across many dance disciplines, primarily grounded in authentic freestyle. Self-funded and community-guided, Sadie bases their research in connection to the sources of club and street dance forms, particularly house and hip hop.

They have co-choreographer credits for Traces of the Moment (2025) at the Seattle Asian Arts Museum with their all-femme dance crew, EMRLDs. Sadie has also performed with Dani Tirrell and the Congregation in Elysium: Leviticus or Love and to walk amongst HUMANS ~ Book II (2025), and in supporting cast for Amy O’Neal’s Again There is No Other (The Remix) (2026). Sadie is now in a period of reflection from the immense exposure to culture, and competition they have experienced from training in numerous cities across the US and Europe. Their current work is a reflection of lived experience, and deep-internal reflection. It’s raw, honest, intersectional, and they are just getting started.
