Bellingham, WA – Bellingham Repertory Dance (BRD) presents Hindsight, a concert celebrating 20 years of contemporary dance. Hindsight honors BRD’s vibrant history with a selection of beloved repertory works. It also looks forward, embracing the contemporary dance of today and tomorrow with the premiere of new works by returning Seattle choreographer, Marlo Martin, as well as BRD alumni.

 

Hindsight is a diverse, sincere, and energetic collection of dance that speaks to the broad and beautiful range of the human experience. Audiences will see the return of Anna Bauer’s piece “Breakfast,” where dancers dive deep into a fleeting moment of connection and familiarity, as well as the strange phenomenon of electricity and the energetic power of the color yellow in Robert Kitsos’ “Tricity.” Gina and Kyle Sorensen’s “Seeker” investigates creating and claiming a sense of home. Kim Lusk’s sharp unison drives the satirical nature of her work, “Quintet in Pink,” and Joshua Manculich’s “Manners” serves as a reflection of the ways that we house etiquette. Hindsight will also showcase pieces from earlier seasons of BRD, including “Two Conversations” choreographed by Pam Kuntz in 2009.

 

Hindsight runs April 10-26 at the Firehouse Arts and Events Center. Each weekend will highlight a different selection of featured works, alongside the show’s core selection. BRD alumni members will perform alongside current members in celebration of the company’s 20th season. BRD is grateful for all of the wonderful collaborations, partnerships, and community support that has made every season possible, and looks forward to sharing this milestone with audiences.

 

Bellingham Repertory Dance is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization offering high-level dance productions, as well as class and performance opportunities for the community. Visit bhamrep.org to learn more about BRD and how to get involved.

Class Description:

Hi! My name is Louise Magno and my studio is named Natural Moments Studio, LLC. I  
am a photographer, graphic artist and painter. I am approached at shows by future artists who want to  
know more about what it means to have a studio and put your work out there and what it will take. I  
am also approached by well-meaning friends and family of artists who want their loved ones to take  
the next step and show/sell their work and don’t understand the reluctance by an artist to do so.  
Today I am sharing what I share with aspiring artists!  
I have done shows both in WA and out of state. I have been accepted into galleries and I am a  
published artist. I do compete with my work as well. I have had my studio for 20 years and my  
class/session is on business tips for those who have studio’s, those who want to create their own  
studio and for those who just want to further market their work without creating a studio.  
We will cover basics like business license, business cards, social media marketing, online presence, art  
groups, displaying your work, jurying, and so much more! The handouts will include tips, examples,  
links and URL’s. So, let’s get together and Network with each other!
