10 years! /  by Nathan Webster

Thinking back to 10! years ago, and all the people who helped us shape the first NOW-ID performance and company launch (and so much / so many more).

This is a screen capture from a video @davidnewkirk shot and edited for The Wedding, NOW-ID show-spectacle number 1.

Stay tuned for what is coming up next and soon!

Charlotte premiered a new work on her students at Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle. /  by Nathan Webster

Charlotte premiered a new work last weekend at Cornish Playhouse in downtown Seattle.

The work was choreographed in collaboration with her students at Cornish College of the Arts.

Lines Drawn was conceived as if a ritual for an imagined community to move through daily, to repeatedly define their world over and over as if movement created the world, and vice versa.

Thank you to all who made 2022 such an inspiring year! /  by Nathan Webster

Collaborator: Alex Barsky. /  by Nathan Webster

Alex Barsky, who is one of our brilliant collaborators for “AND SO WE SOW” is a Seattle-based animator and educator. Her work explores human and natural relationships in contemporary culture, which often culminates in internal and external struggle, disorder, and violence.


Her award-winning short films have screened at festivals around the world, including SXSW, Animation Block Party, and the Toronto Arthouse Film Festival. She is currently an Assistant Professor of Animation at Cornish College of the Arts. Join us on December 22nd at Left of Main in Vancouver and you will get to see her innovative work up close!

Residency in Richmond, Virginia. /  by Nathan Webster

Charlotte was in Virginia a couple of weeks ago creating a new work on the dynamic dancers in the Department of Theatre and Dance at the University of Richmond. Last time that we were there as a company was in 2019 when we created the evening length production “Cross Currents” at the American Civil War Museum! We so appreciate the relationship that we have developed with the Department, it is exciting to watch it evolve in new and interesting ways.
