Bellingham Repertory Dance presents: Gravitate

This spring, Bellingham Repertory Dance (BRD) presents Gravitate, an evening of new contemporary dance works. Gravitate explores the mysterious forces that keep us simultaneously grounded and in motion; the ways that people, places, and things have the power to forcefully propel us into orbit, or gently gather us together. Featuring choreography by Alethea Alexander, and BRD members Cecelia Handford and Juliette Machado, BRD is thrilled to return to the Firehouse Arts and Events Center for this process-driven collection of all-new works on April 14-15 and April 20-22.

Alethea Alexander’s Table Machine, inspired by Gilles Deleuze's notion of “machines” as community, is an athletic feat that investigates desire (without nostalgia or yearning), function (without apathy), urgency (free from anxiety), and fullness (without design). 

Juliette Machado’s new work investigates the relevance of play and frivolity in a productivity-obsessed world. The camp and eccentricity of Cecelia Hanford’s piece is inspired by vintage sci-fi, and informed by the wonderful messiness of BRD’s collective nature; an outgrowth of truth that is stranger than fiction.

        We acknowledge that Whatcom County is located on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples. They cared for the lands that included what we’d call the Puget Sound region, Vancouver Island and British Columbia since time immemorial. This gives us the great obligation and opportunity to learn how to care for our surrounding areas and all the natural and human resources we require to live. We express our deepest respect and gratitude for our indigenous neighbors, the Lummi Nation and Nooksack Tribe, for their enduring care and protection of our shared lands and waterways.
