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 Hanford and Juliette Machado, BRD is thrilled to return to the Firehouse Arts and Events Center for this process-driven collection of all-new works.

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.
