The Saturday performance of Catherine Cabeen and Co.'s Into the Void is SOLD OUT.
Here's what's been written about Into the Void so far:
"Seattle dancer-choreographer Catherine Cabeen explores a dreamlike Void" - Seattle Times
There was a narrative, it emerged in certain passages: with boy meets girl, is confronted by a rival, fights and looses but is nevertheless the winner anyway; but the bigger story of freedom, of beautiful, unrestrained euphoric freedom that in it's-self, reaches to an epiphany of spiritual awakening and expression became the flying carpet ride I took.
Tonight’s opening of Catherine Cabeen’s Into the Void is her first opportunity to showcase her own ideas in an evening length performance. Don’t assume though that what you will see is a freshman effort. Her resume is long and varied and some would say crowned with her time with Martha Graham Dance Company. She is very much a multi-disciplinary produc
UPDATE: Online sales are back!
We're experiencing some technical difficulties and our ticket sales are temporarily down. We're working to get them back up and believe that they'll be going again in the morning.
If you're looking for tickets to tonight's performance of Into the Void, come on down to OtB! Tickets will be available at the door.
Catherine Cabeen has been busy in the months leading up to this weekend’s world premiere of Into the Void and has a smaller piece happening across town in The Variety Show.
This Friday we'll be opening up the lobby and bar at OtB at 5pm to screen Low Lives 3.
Michael Upchurch at the Seattle Times recently sat down with Catherine Cabeen to talk about Into the Void.
1. Catherine Cabeen danced with legendary choreographer Bill T Jones from 1998-2005. Jones, who was one of the recipients of the 2010 Kennedy Center Honors (alongside Oprah and Paul McCartney), trained Catherine to dance the roles that he had originally created for himself.
Press reviews are starting to roll in. Watch this post for more updates throughout the weekend!

I try not to categorize artwork by nationality, but there is something, well, particularly french about L'Effet de Serge. Whether intentional or accidental, I felt an intellectual alignment with French philosophers such as de Certeau who examined the daily.
The newest show at OTB's is titled L’Effet de Serge by Philippe Quesne, judging by the anecdote in the program, Seattle is very lucky to have had the opportunity to see the show dispute some tricky customs situations. The show is slow, strange and ultimately uneventful; in other words it's wonderful.
I'm a lucky girl. I'm not an actress (though like most people, I have fantasies of being "discovered") and I haven't been behind the scenes on a theatrical production in years either. But I guess the powers-that-be thought I'd have the skills to eat pizza, drink wine and chat with beautiful french artists on stage. Um, sure, why not?
Did you see L'Effet de Serge? Leave us a comment with your thoughts!
This apartment looks very much like Serge himself. A child/man's playground. A long room of blank white walls, empty space on one side and in the other a ping pong table littered with various half constructed models, small TV and VCR, colored wire, bags of chips, cans of silly string.
On the Boards needs to raise over $5,000 to cover the costs of our unexpected struggle to obtain visas to bring Obie Award-winning French theater company Vivarium Studio to OtB. As of this morning, we've raised $475 towards this goal.
We're prepping Serge's apartment on OtB's Mainstage Theater right now, so here's a little info on Vivarium Studio to help prep you for the performance this weekend:

This is what zombie visas look like - they were truly resurrected from the dead....

We are thrilled to announce that Vivarium Studio received their official visas this morning and will be arriving in Seattle to perform next week!
PodFest is back in 2011. PodFest promotes and responds to new modes of creativity and performance throughout the Pacific Northwest by featuring six new digital performative works in dance, theater and music made through the lens of a camera or computer and viewed through the frame of a monitor.
One hour ago we received a miracle call: the visas for Vivarium Studio have been approved. We are not, however, out of the woods yet.
We're writing this afternoon to announce that we are forced to consider the possibility of canceling a production after receiving the news that the visas for our next performers, France’s Vivarium Studio, may not be issued. In our 34 year history we have brought hundreds of foreign artists to the US and this is the first time that we have encountered this kind of visa difficulty.
