Lavinia Vago: FKK @ Velocity Dance Center / location TBA (Seattle)
May 3 @ 7:30 pm

FKK is a long and intentional multilayered journey of research rooted in dance. From underground raves, queer clubs, durational performance spaces, punk mosh pits, noise pressure, cathartic dancefloors, rituals of release, and empathetic relationships rooted in love, a performance is birthed. A portal for kinesthetic empathy, where time dilates and each moment extends to eternity in a collective journey of healing.

Dance is the place where we can encounter our demons and chase them, confront them, and ground with them. Make them our bitch, so we can dominate them; we find our freedom there. Music is the gateway to reconnect with joy, unconditional love, to each other, and the rhythm of the universe sitting inside us.

Using the solo form as a multitude of experiences on top of each other we ask : how much can one body do alone? How far can it be pushed? What else can you discover there? What is the tender space between pain and pleasure? The choreographic codes attack the vulnerability of the flesh using technologies of the body memory. FKK is a place to celebrate the resilience of the body, the boundlessness of the soul, and to honor the immense power of dance.

Location: to be announced

Residency Entry Point: Ankita Sharma @ Base (Seattle – Georgetown)
May 11 @ 2:30 pm

dhoka/Betrayal/ entangles Hindu goddess Kali’s ultimate power and destructive nature with present-day authoritarianism and religious violence, using myth to unpack how Hinduism has been shaped into propaganda for Indian ethno-nationalism by Western influence. Tracing Kali’s deification, dhoka accompanies her transformation into a colonized, fetishized, destructive image that upholds violence with her bloodied tongue. The work lives at the fringes of reality and genre, letting the epic and human dance together: a physical exploration of how worship distorts what something stands for.

Location: Base, inside Equinox Studios (6520 5th Ave S)
