Film Screening: Whispering into the Void

January 25, 2020

Wa Na Wari and On the Boards have partnered to bring filmmaker Amir George to Seattle to screen his new film series “Whispering into the Void.” Both Wa Na Wari and On The Boards are interested in supporting the ideas of Black artists as presented through film. Presenting this work in Seattle furthers our goals of showcasing forward-thinking art and ideas from Black contemporary artists.

Screening with Talk-back and Q&A with Amir George and Inye Wokoma:
Saturday, January 25th at On the Boards in the Studio Theater at 3:00pm

Co-curated by Charles Smith & Matt Aguayo • Performance Lab - Uncanny Cabaret

November 4, 2019

December's Performance Lab will be at 8PM.

Matt Aguayo, alternatively known as Angel Baby Kill Kill Kill in Seattle’s thriving drag scene, believes in the myriad possibilities of dynamic gender expression. A graduate of Cornish College of the Arts, Matt’s work seeks to unify both the professional theatrical and nightlife communities through investigating the limits and benefits of each space. Utilizing training in clown, burlesque, and biomechanics, they hope to blur the line between studied performance and irreverent entertainment.

Ten choreographers, artists, and dancemakers take on the challenge of creating live works on one very small stage, a square table set on a black box stage, with the audience surrounding it on all four sides like a boxing ring.
