Seattle Dances: “Co- Presents trick” published april 29 2026
Excerpt:
Rain begins to pour. The sounds bring me auditory relief, I can imagine the coolness of the water, I am tempted to close my eyes and rest for a moment. Tension drains. A single gold light illuminates the stage like a streetlight. Kramer, unmasked and quiet now, tugs the audience of tied together stuffies through the light while the rain falls. Did we know that we as an audience were so intertwined? Trapped together like our stuffie doubles have been this whole time?
Seattle Dances: “In Tandem”. Published January 17 2026
Excerpt:
In the end it is just them and four empty plastic bags. Holding one bag and each hand, they raise the bags above their heads before forcing their arms downwards, inflating the bags with air with one swift motion. They move across the rubble ridden room like this, catching the air over and over. They settle into a steady audible rhythm – the gasp of the plastic through the air is like a forceful exhale, a required exercise of living. We can trust that there is an inhale as their arms raise silently up, the exhale pushed out immediately as they force the bags down. As the lights fade and the sound continues, they have captured my own state of suspension inside the impending apocalypse. I find myself exhaling at the moment the gasp of plastic occurs, my own balancing breath caught inside the inhale/exhale of theirs.
