Base Residency Entry Point with The Bonnies

Come join us at Base with our first Residency artists of the 25-26 season with a unique movement workshop!

Entry Point | Saturday, January 31 | 4 PM - 6 PM

Movement Workshop w/ The Bonnies

Accessible to people of all physicalities, this 2-hour process workshop alternates verbal and somatic space with imagination work, embodied meditations, partner exercises, and gently held risk taking in play and processing. Can we loosen our grip on reality long enough to let the body lead us into imagining new possibilities? The Bonnies will lead the group through practices used in the creation of their latest piece (I’m on Fire, You’re on Fire, We’re on Fire), exploring joy, fantasy, afterlife, and other possible selves in a container of agenda-free community research. Absolutely no dance/movement experience required, this is a space where you can show up as you are and respond to prompts through multiple mediums, including writing, drawing, movement, and speaking. Touch-free options will be provided for all exercises involving touch. Masks welcome. Please bring a notebook and pen and wear comfortable clothes. Workshop recommended for adults or mature teenagers.

The Bonnies (twin flames Kaitlin McCarthy and Jenny Peterson) have been making strange performance works together in Seattle, WA, since 2013. Gravitating to the grotesque/off-kilter/marvelous, their work rides the edges of humor and horror to find transformation and intimacy.
