(Via Capitol Hill Seattle)
The innovative dance company Whim W’Him is performing its first full-length evening of works on
Capitol Hill with eight performances times at the Erickson Theatre. Created by ballet dancer Olivier Wevers five years ago, Whim W'Him has typically
performed at what is now the Cornish Playhouse. For the first time, they will
move outside of Seattle Center to the 150-seat Erickson, May 15 - 23. They’ll
place the first row of seats directly on stage for what sounds like a most
“immersive” experience.
Katie Bombico, executive director, says, “One of our goals
for this year is to expand our audience in the Seattle area and we chose to go
to Capitol Hill first because the demographics really mesh well: young, diverse
in age, diverse in sexual orientation. Bringing our work to Capitol Hill will
enable more folks to see the art we create. We’ve collaborated with other
organizations and businesses on the Hill. We hope to continue to expand and
partner with Velocity. That’s a great place in the community to have access to
dance.”
