Gathering Bones is revisited up close and in the round, as a site specific performance at Twilight Gallery. The performance takes place in conjunction with the gallery’s upcoming exhibit, Our Daily Armor: Woman as Warrior in Contemporary Art and Adornment.

Gathering Bones is an evening length performance experience exploring themes of internal personal power, feminism and femininity through dance and music. This movement collage dives into princess, warrior and queen archetypes through a variety of cultural histories and resources. Gathering Bones goes back in time, exploring stories and myths of powerful and wild women.

Gathering Bones premiered in Seattle on May 18 and 19, 2013 at Velocity Dance Center. After sold out houses and rave reviews, Gathering Bones toured to Portland for Pacific Dance Makers in June and Conduit’s Dance+ Festival in July 2013.

Gathering Bones at Twilight Gallery offers the audience a chance to experience this work in the round, up close and personal. Re-created for five dancers, the piece will bring the gallery space to life with powerful movement and visual imagery. Step inside and witness the journey. With only 40 seats available, audience will watch from within the dance, sitting on the floor or standing with the dancers in the performance space. This is a rare and intimate performance experience not to be missed.
