Please join us at Base on Saturday, August 17 at 7:30 PM for a work-in-progress showing and community gathering to close out Amy O'Neal's Base Residency.

For this residency, Amy is researching her next evening length work Again, There is No Other: The Remix, which samples and reimagines concepts, movement, and experimental performance tropes from her body of work exploring societal constructs of race and gender. Merging practices from Black social dance culture and contemporary dance, she will explore with a multi racial and generational cast of femme identified dance artists to revisit and reinvent from her long history of performance making. She will spend the first week exploring new solo ideas sampling from previous solos and reconnecting with Ellie Sandstrom, who danced in her work with locust and AmyO/tinyrage 2000-2010. The second week, physically multi lingual movement artists Amaria Stern (LA), Nia-Amina Minor (Seattle), Annie Franklin (Chicago), and Tracey Wong (Seattle) will explore ideas from Amy's previous works In the Fray (2010), The Most Innovative, Daring, and Original Dance/Performance You Will See this Decade (2012), Opposing Forces (2014), There is No Other (2015), Again, there is No Other (2016), A Trio (2019), and There is No Other (The Remix) (2021).  What feels relevant now? What needs to stay in the past? Where do we go from here?

Space is limited– please reserve a free ticket in advance. Masks are encouraged, but not required at Base.
