That’s a Handful! @ Velocity Dance Center (Seattle – Capitol Hill)
Oct 11 @ 7:30 pm

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.

Location: 12th Avenue Arts (1620 12th Ave, Seattle)

Tickets $23-$54 (sliding scale) here.
