Henry Winslow was born and raised in Bellingham. He grew up enjoying dance, theater, and music in the local community thanks to the support of his family, teachers, and friends. He went on to study contemporary dance at Boston Conservatory and began a career performing in Boston, then New York City, and currently the San Francisco Bay Area. He began choreographing while in school, and has continued in collaboration with his partner Emma Andre. This is his first fully independent project, undertaken as an artistic challenge, and an opportunity to give back to his biggest supporters. The piece features a variety of music mixed with sounds from a subway commute between Brooklyn and Manhattan. The movement was inspired by artists around the globe, as well as endless hours of imagination on trips to and from rehearsals.

This is not a ticketed event, but donations are welcome.

BRD presents Around, an evening of contemporary dance. Around is a show about the movement of relationships. Dancers explore arcs, orbits, through-lines, familiarity, distance, and seasonal cycles. Featuring works by choreographers from across the country, BRD is thrilled to share this dynamic show with Bellingham audiences.

In Sydney Samson’s “breathing deep on a freezing beach,” movement defines the cyclical patterns of relationships. Morgan Sandlin’s “tastes like grapes, feels like velvet” is a playful personification of purple. A perennial favorite, Deb Wolf’s strikingly athletic “Arc Angle” will return to the BRD stage. Also returning is David Harvey’s meditative work, “Laps,” which invites its audience to witness the power of habitual personal ritual. “Amá,” by Danah Bella, explores “the joys, the disruptions, the significance of touch, and the negotiation between these elements.” Around will also include the premiere of an exciting new work by BRD’s own Soleil Chappelle in collaboration with local artist Tricia Stackle.

Cost: General $25, Pay-It-Forward $35, Discount $15 (Thanks to Pay-It-Forward Patrons)
