Through a dance performance and accompanying video installation, Will Rawls invites us to consider the ways in which Black bodies are relentlessly documented, distorted, and circulated in the media.
In [siccer], Will Rawls experiments with stop-motion, a filmmaking technique in which still photographs are strung together to produce a moving image. Through a dance performance and accompanying video installation, Will Rawls invites us to consider the ways in which Black bodies are relentlessly documented, distorted, and circulated in the media. Throughout [siccer]’s live performance, five dancers are suspended in an uncanny reenactment of an iconic American film. When the camera’s shutter closes momentarily between photographs, a gap in surveillance occurs that allows Rawls and collaborators to play within these intervals.
The project’s title is driven by the usage of “[sic],” a Latin adverb which indicates incorrect spelling within a quotation. [sic] is often employed to contrast Black vernacular with standard English. Upturning this perceived conflict, [siccer] illuminates the verbal, physical play that marks how Black performance actively eludes capture and speculates on the potential for collective strategies of narrating the world, uncorrected.

The Hybrid Lab: Conversations in Merging Dance Cultures is part dance party, part performance cypher, part contemporary performance art, and part conversation facilitated by dancer/choreographer/curator/dance educator Amy O’Neal. O’Neal has been merging the experimental and social natures of Hip Hop and Contemporary dance since 2000 to challenge notions of race, gender, and the sampling nature of innovation. Her primary movement languages are contemporary, hip hop, and house and she creates dance experiences within the experimental performance context, dance film, and virtual reality. The Hybrid Lab is a space for real time dialogue between dancers primarily from and in relation to hip hop culture who merge multiple movement styles and contexts to experiment with artistic form, build community, and shift power dynamics between artists, venues, funders, and audiences.
For this engagement in collaboration with Velocity Dance Center, The Hybrid Lab: Conversations in Merging Dance Cultures will feature the evolution of Amy O’Neal’s latest house inspired choreographic work “A Trio” and real time experiments by featured Seattle hip hop, house, waacking, and contemporary culture luminaries Orb, Alfredo “Free” Vergara, Tracey Wong, and Majiin O’Neal, as well as a few emerging artists to be announced. Each night will be slightly different due to the improvisational nature of the show. Expect DJ sets by WD4D, audience agency to move around, surprise musical guests, post show dance parties, and juicy conversation.
Location: 12th Avenue Arts (1620 12th Ave., Seattle)
Tickets $17-$54 (sliding scale) here.

Join zaza on a fact-finding adventure, diving into and exploring HANDS: handshakes, hand signals, pinky promises, palm reading, shadow puppets, finger prints, nerve sensation, touch and connection. Using their two hands and ten fingers, as well as other props, metaphors and perhaps a touch of whimsy with a dash of the imagination, we will put our finger on the pulse of these distal appendages, their sensitivity and their capabilities. How and why do we use our hands and what are all the amazing things we can do with them?
Equal parts Radiolab meets the Magic School Bus meets the Big Comfy Couch, this show invites you to cozy up, feel some feelings and learn as many fun finger factoids and (hand)necdotes that we can cram into one show.
Alyza DelPan-Monley (they/them) believes in the expressive power that can be accessed in the body through movement. As a movement designer and choreographer, they perform and collaborate regularly and are a company member and dancer with Malacarne. Alyza is Velocity Dance Center’s Curating Artist in Residence through September 2023. They strive to participate in and build processes where everyone feels like they can exist in their fullest selves by cultivating and celebrating every body’s unique form of expression.
Preview 10/11, opens 10/12. ASL interpreted 10/13.
