Back in the studio with “Matter.”
A new creation by Olivier Wevers for Winter ’27, with original music by Philip Daniel.

“Maybe we are only earth
for a little while.

Briefly given a body.
A patch of dirt beneath our feet.
The astonishing grace to touch another life.”

“Matter” is gently taking shape.
Asking what gets revealed when the small kingdom of “I am” begins to soften.

Winter ’27
Jan 15–23 | Cornish Playhouse
Jan 21 | Vashon Center for the Arts

Tickets on sale soon.

We are feeling grateful, humbled, and deeply touched by everyone who showed up to FALL ‘26, the first program of our 17th season.

You showed up.
You filled the room.
You leaned in.
We felt it.
THANK YOU!

Congratulations to our dancers and to Kayla Farrish, Annie Rigney, and Jessi Stegall for bringing these works to the stage with so much heart, rigor, risk, and care.

Fall ’26 is over, but Season 26|27 is just getting started.
Make it a season, not a single program.
Memberships for Winter and Spring are still available.
