Fragmented Flow Festival


  • On the Boards, Merrill Theater 100 West Roy Street Seattle, WA, 98119 United States (map)

Fragmented Flow is a chance to lose yourself in a world pieced together through exciting experimental performances by PNW artists. This year, OtB will bring four artistic teams together for an intimate investigation of different concepts of identity and relationship. These interdisciplinary performances will allow you to explore your inner human psyche, memories, and more.

Degenerate Art Ensemble’s (Seattle) richly visual performance playfully considers three fairy tales—The Fitcher’s Bird, The Wild Swans, and The Red Shoes—that were read to the artist as a child, as a ritual for the healing of trauma and the realization of personal power. 

Allie Hankins’ (Portland) performance dissects the inner monologue of a performer through questioning the boundary lines of intimacy and vulnerability with the audience-performer relationship.   

Vanessa Goodman (Vancouver) considers the embodiment of sound and how to generate artistic material in real-time that creates a direct correlation between movement and sound.   

Gender Tender (Seattle) uses tactics rooted in dance, punk music, durational performance, and visual art to investigate the effects peaceful and violent forms of support and sabotage have on the bodies, minds, and spirits of the transgender and queer community.
