THE REAL SHANNON STEWART (Seattle)

An Inner Place That Has No Place is part of a suite of dance and film works exploring memory and memory loss - personal, material, and societal.   Created by choreographer/dancer Shannon Stewart in collaboration with filmmaker Adam Sekuler, composer Jeff Huston, and performers Meredith Horiuchi, Mary Margaret Moore, Aaron Swartzman, Rosa Vissers, and David Wolbrecht, the work fulfills the physicality of space with atomized motion, that is through choreography distilled into distinct dance units.

“…dancers beautifully balance their way trough a complicated scheme of light, sound and video of themselves that is rich and disorienting.”    “…ruggedly athletic”  Seattle Times

Shannon Stewart’s choreography is filled with brave, unusual contrasts and is by turns athletic, detail-oriented and tranquil.”  Seattle Dances
