This week's films and performances are:
MAY AND JUNE. Choreographed by Rachael Lincoln and Leslie Seiters.

Chorus of One. Choreographed by Alethea Alexander and Anna Mlasowsky.
From dancer Alethea Alexander: Dancing in Anna's garment is dangerous and thrilling, familiar and completely alien. Edges that can pierce also make delicate songs. Thunder builds from the knees and resonates off of walls. In Chorus of One I am an investigator, testing and tasting the qualities of my own forces as they are amplified and curtailed by a skin that is simultaneously a shield and an adversary. I am a creature, a bird, a reptile.
2018-2019 Bellvue Arts Museum. Wearable Sculpture design and fabrication: Anna Mlasowsky. Movement: Alethea Alexander and Anna Mlasowsky. Dancer: Alethea Alexander. Winner: John & Joyce Price Award of Excellence, 2018.
