as part of CHOP SHOP: Bodies of Work
A Contemporary Dance Festival
At The Theatre at Meydenbauer

Presented by StoneDance Productions and The Theatre at Meydenbauer
Saturday, February 13th, 7:30 pm
Sunday, February 14th, 3:00pm

Come and find us pre-show and during intemission as we inhabit various "hidden" locations around the lobby of Meydenbauer Theater and creating moving installations in reaction to the space and its inherent sounds and energy.

This unique festival is a rare opportunity to explore the talents of Seattle-based and Eastside - based artists in two special performances. Each of these prolific choreographers has presented work to numerous critical successes throughout Europe, Asia, Latin America and the United States. Though each company/artist presented possesses their own individual voice, they are all unified in the contemporary language of dance and its power to stir the senses through the visceral moving image.

On stage performances include work by:
SD Prism, Spectrum Dance Theater, Quark Contemporary Dance Theatre
The Stone Dance Collective, The Sho, The Phffft! Dance Theatre, Coriolis Dance Collective
Whim W’Him, Peninsula Dance Theatre, Seattle Dance Project, Mark Haim
