SUPER NIGHT SHOTGOB SQUAD

SAT | SEP 6 | 9pm $25 ADVANCE TICKETS ONLY AVAILABLE TO OtB SUBSCRIBERS

For one night only, the streets of Lower Queen Anne will become a film set for four artists on a mission: to make everyday life as passionate and thrilling as a Hollywood blockbuster.

The artists take to the streets around sunset. Armed with camerasthey begin a frantic search for heroes, villians, the ideal location, and the perfect kiss. Every passerby becomes a potential extra with the power to change the script. After an hour of filming, they’ll rush back to the theater, where their footage will be synced live before the awaiting audience. What kind of movie will we see? What kind of city is Seattle? What sort of human beings are we?

We’ll gather for a pre-show tailgate party around 7:30pm. Grab a drink, a bite to eat, and get to know your neighbors as you get ready to cheer for our city and the people in it. The War on Anonymity is about to begin.

GOB SQUAD is a German/British artist collective. Obsessed with finding the beautiful in the banal, their work combines theater, art, media, and “real life” – with unexpected and profound results. Everyday people become artists, and everyday experience becomes magical. Their work explores the collective experience of modern human beings. They were last seen at OtB in 2012 with Gob Squad’s Kitchen (You’veNever Had it So Good).

GERMINALANTOINE DEFOORT & HALORY GOERGER

THU – SAT | SEP 25 – 27 | 8pmSUN | SEP 28 | 5pm $23 | $25 week of show

If we had the opportunity to start from scratch, even in a space of 8 meters by 10 meters, how would we do it?

How serious is the entirety of human civilization? Four intrepid individuals begin with a blank stage and gleefully rebuild life as we know it. Their tools include mind melds, pickaxes, microphones, electric guitars, and four-part harmony.

Ingeniously remaking social codes, laws of physics, philosophy, music, and human communication, Germinal posits the theory that human civilization may be just one big theater trick.

This layered study in theater magic is one of the most talked-about shows on the international arts circuit.

DEFOORT AND GOERGER hail from France. They are musicians, actors, philosophers, pranksters, artists, and inventors. They excel at mixing genres, upending social codes, and not taking themselves too seriously. Their super-clever mix of visual art, theater, music, and sociology marked them as rising stars at the 2013 Avignon Festival.

THE MAN WHO CANFORGET ANYTHINGMURPHY/LACHOW COMPANY

THU – SAT | OCT 9 – 11 | 8pmSUN | OCT 12 | 5pm $23 | $25 week of show

Two of the co-creators of legendary Seattle ensemble Run/Remain return to OtB with a next-generation familial mash-up of film, music, theater, and dance.

Murphy and Lachow continue their 25-year artistic collaboration in a performance featuring longtime friends and (now grown-up) children. Their deceptively nonchalant dance moves, nouvelle vague aesthetic, moody films, pointe shoes, and nods to Chekhov transcend the generational divide in a charmingly clever package laced with optimism and melancholy.

FEATURING Megan Murphy, Gregg Lachow, 15-year-old Charlie Lachow, Marissa Niederhauser, Annette Toutonghi, Ezra Dickinson, and Sarah Harlett; with the now-adult musician/composer Maggie Brown and burgeoning rap genius Sam Lachow.

MEGAN MURPHY AND GREGG LACHOW are well-known players in the Seattle performance scene: Lachow for feature length films and film shorts, Murphy for tongue-in-cheek performance and choreography, and both for co-founding the interdisciplinary ensemble Run/Remain. They often work over long periods of time with the same performers, including their own children and family friends. Lachow & Murphy live in NYC.

The Man Who Can Forget Anything was supported through OtB’s Performance Production Program.

OPPOSING FORCESAMY O’NEAL

THU – SAT | OCT 23 – 25 | 8pmSUN | OCT 26 | 5pm $23 | $25 week of show

Breakdancing, live beats, hip hop, and gender roles: five B-boys from different generations and cultures come together in curiosity, strength, vulnerability, and grace.

In Opposing Forces, choreographer Amy O’Neal examines the paradoxical nature of B-Boy culture as it relates to femininity and the value systems of dance battling, commercial dance, stage performance, and freestyle cyphers. How do these different environments affect expression? Where are stereotypes changing and where do they remain the same? O’Neal pries open these topics and more via conversation, collaboration, and transfixing dance moves. Seattle’s own WD4D performs live music.With lighting design by Ben Zamora.

AMY O’NEAL is a Seattle teacher and choreographer who has taught and performed nationally and internationally and choreographed for stage, commercials, dance films, and music videos. She is a longtime collaborator with renaissance man Reggie Watts. Opposing Forces is O’Neal’s first large-scale work in a strictly choreographic role.

SHREDDER ORPHEUSROBERT MCGINLEY

HALLOWEEN! FRI | OCT 31 | 9pm $20

“They’re shredding their way to Hell!”

Orpheus’ journey to the underworld is reworked as a post-apocalyptic skate rock-opera in this 1990 cult classic (made by one of the founders of OtB!).

Ultra camp, a super DIY aesthetic, huge hair, and trashy grunge-era Seattle are all on vivid display in this bizarre retelling of the Greek myth. Join us for a pre-show party/record release celebrating the 25th anniversary screening of this Seattle gem.

Shredder Orpheus features a soundtrack composed by Roland Barker (Blackouts, Ministry), Seattle luminaries including Steven Jesse Bernstein, Megan Murphy, Brian Faker, Gian-Carlo Scandiuzzi, John Billingsly, Suzy Schneider, and many many more. Featuring Robert McGinley as Orpheus. Shredder Orpheus is presented inmemory of Steven Jesse Bernstein.

ROBERT MCGINLEY was one of the original founders of OtB. He served as Artistic Director into the 80’s, curating a healthy dose of performance art and punk rock. McGinley currently works as a media artist in film, poetry, and photography.

POEM and SECRET MARYSAT | NOV 22 | 8pm $23 | $25 week of show

Experience three of American choreographer Tere O’Connor’s works over three evenings. BLEED (Thu & Fri) collapses three dance pieces into one singular masterpiece of movement; while poem and Secret Mary (Sat), both shorter works, allow the audience to see some of the source material that informed the larger work.

All three pieces use O’Connor’s lifelong obsession with the vast possibilities of human movement to create a brand-new choreographic language.Performed by a team of fearless & unparalleled NYC dancers, the works weave various dance vocabularies into a complex yet often playful tapestry, creating an unexpected universe.

CINEASTASMARIANO PENSOTTI

THU – SAT | JAN 29 – 31 | 8pmSUN | FEB 1 | 5pm $23 | $25 week of show

In Spanish with English surtitles.

“Do our fictions reflect the world, or is the world a distorted projection of our fictions?”

— Mariano Pensotti

Love, money, family, work, death, and McDonald’s: the lives and films of four cineastas blend seamlessly in this tour de force from Argentinian auteur Mariano Pensotti.

A gorgeous bi-level stage frames the real lives and film lives of the characters over the course of a year in Buenos Aires. Can the two ever really be completely distinct? How does art influence real life?

Pensotti ingeniously adapts cinematic techniques—voice-over, fades, panoramic long takes—for the stage, resulting in an intricate portrait of a city, its inhabitants, and a specific epoch.

MARIANO PENSOTTI is a director, writer, and filmmaker based in Argentina. He is becoming known worldwide for his singular set design, site-specific performances, and writerly depictions of the “lost generation” in South America. Pensotti last visited OtB with 2012’s El pasado es un animal grotesco.

“tight moves, an electric rapport...mesmerizing”

– The Seattle Times

Up-and-coming choreographer Kate Wallich blends the lush electronica of Johnny Goss (Cock & Swan), the “slacker art” of JD Banke, and her own unmistakable movement in an icy-cool investigation into the agonies and ecstasies of the post-internet generation.

Wallich’s brand of uber-contemporary movement is a precarious mix of pop culture, post-post-modern dance tropes, constrained emotions, and club moves. Featuring dancers Lavinia Vago, Matt Drews, Waldean Nelson, and Kate Wallich.

KATE WALLICH is a performer and choreographer based in Seattle. She trained at Interlochen Arts Academy and Cornish College of the Arts.

BEWARE OF THE DANDELIONSCOMPLEX MOVEMENTSTHU – SUN | APR 16 – 19THU – SUN | MAY 7 – 10$23 | $25 week of show

SCI-FI + HIP HOP + SOCIAL ACTIVISM. CHANGE THE WAY YOU WORK FOR CHANGE.

This groundbreaking Detroit collective is changing our understanding of the relationship between art and progress in the 21st century. Complex Movements is a group of forward-thinking, technologically savvy, sci-fi hip hop, artist/activist geeks who believe social change occurs by creating spaces for connection.

Small performances for audiences of 35 take place in an interactive “pod”assembled in-house on the OtB stage. Once in the pod, the audience becomes a community of post-apocalyptic survivors working together in an immersive environment rich in visual imagery, performance, and a soundscape based on the modern musical influences of Detroit. Interactive elements allow audience members to unlock and shape their experience.

The goal: to create an artistically exciting space where participants encounter and practice the tools for change and co-create ways to use these tools in their own communities.

While in residency, Complex Movements takes to the streets. A series of workshops will occur throughout the city, building upon collective action inspired by science and science-fiction to help reimagine how local community members work to improve conditions in their city.

Community is art and art is community.

One very important aspect of art is that it makes

Once the breakthrough

is made, there is a permanent expansion of awareness.

“IT FEELS LIKE A NEW ERA.” This is what I tell friends over drinks when asked about the goings on around OtB. Our managing director Sarah tells peoplethe same thing. We describe it as a time of opening, change and growth, which leads to the question: why do we feel things need to open, change and grow, and what does this mean operationally?

The main reason we’re pushing forward is because artists are continuing to evolve. Contrary to what many people believe, everything hasn’t already been done from a creative standpoint. The circumstances that define this day and age are unique from the last decade and the ones before it, even if some of the distinctions are subtle. From what I’ve seen, what most characterizes artists today is that they seem to feel as much creative possibility as ever before. There are reasons for this: new technological tools; social, political and environmental turmoil serving as fodder and inspiration; the notion that thereisn’t a crumb left in the idea cookie jar relieving pressure fromtrying to be original or different; and the ongoing blurring of what distinguishes one creative discipline from another.

All this leads to artists now embracing a broad scope of approaches that are as expansive as ever. Just in my own universe, artists are talking to me about making serial projects that take place over a season; projects that are performed in atheater and shown in a museum simultaneously; projects that take place outdoors and involve performers and non-performers participating in volunteerism; projects that radically reconfigure our theater; and projects that are built to address social justice issues. There are projects that need to be seen through video, publication and exhibition as much as live performance. There are projects that are made in a flash and there are those that take years to create. Most involve performers; some don’t. Lots of them are addressing different methods for how and for how long audiences experience what they make.

42

To keep up with the new ways artists are working, we’ve refined our practices. Over the last decade we’ve created a platform that supports artists from the Northwest just as much as those from beyond, so we are no longer geographically separating artists into series. Our beloved 12 Minutes Max will morph into Open Studio, giving artists and our Ambassador Project curators a flexible format for testing new ideas in front of audiences. We’re partnering with other organizations more than ever – different projects will take place at Velocity and at The Moore Theatre with STG. Such partnering is probably one of the best ways we can grow the collective capacity and focus of the arts ecosystem here in Seattle. We’re developing curricular ties to universities through OntheBoards.tv to make performance more relevant and accessible in a variety of contexts. We’re working with our board of directors to increase our adaptive capacity as an organization so that we can continue to interpret and execute our mission in uncertain and rapidly-changing times. Our staff is working together more closely as a team to figure out ways to better accommodate artists and take care of our relationships with patrons. And we’re working with some hip hop, sci-fi nerds from Detroit over the course of the season to design a five week residency in the spring that will include 20 performances and an in-depth examination of social justice issues in our city.

Another reason we see ourselves shifting can be attributed to our rethinking how we relate to the idea of community. Truth be told, that word has always given me the heebie jeebies, considering the way it has been used in fundraising rhetoric and “art-is-good”campaigns. I always figured the best way to serve a community was to do good work, operate with integrity, interpret the organizational mission to the best of our ability and make sure everything we do is accessible to everyone. This build-it-and-they-will-come approach is how we rolled for a long time.

43

Over the past few seasons, though, we’ve been focusing on a build-the-community-for-the-art approach. Contemporary performance isn’t as interesting or provocative if only the same thousand people attend our shows in a metropolitan area of three and a half million. We want to develop relationships with artists and audiences in our community who don’t know about OtB or feel unsure how to participate in our programs. We’ve come to realize that a 501(c)3 doesn’t really have the luxury to opt out of educating future artists and audiences. We eliminated our fledgling education program twelve years ago to deeply focus on our core programs, but people didn’t stop procreating when we made this switch and now we feel compelled to reconsider how we contribute to future generations.

We’ve begun to rethink how we use our big, old building. It was built as a community center in 1912, and since then, our surrounding population has only grown exponentially. It makes sense that we do everything we can to maximize its use and reach.

Sometimes I joke with the staff, “We’re not a bank or a law firm. We’re an arts organization. Let’s act like one.” It’s not like we have a system in place that guarantees success, fame and fortune. We don’t want to hold on too tightly to what we’ve done before. The program and activities in this brochure are an attempt at building for the future.

LIKE THE ARTISTS WE CHAMPION, WE MUST CONTINUE TO EXPERIMENT AND INNOVATE.

- Lane Czaplinski, Artistic Director

Three of the performances take place in different locations throughout the season: Clytigation #1 in a visual arts space; Clytigation #2 in an outdoor setting for an intimate audience; and Clytigation #3 in the OtB Studio Theater. Clytigation #4 lets you create your own performance environment with a website/app that generates choreography.

After roughly 36 years as a reliable and fairly democratic entry point to OtB’s programming, our dear performance lab, 12 Minutes Max, will take a hiatus this season as we experiment with a new way to give artists a flexible and evolving platform for testing new ideas in front of audiences. Curated by participants of the Ambassador Project, the Open Studio program will morph and shape-shift to allow for a range of projects to occur: a shared bill of dance, a new music cabaret, visual artists making a performance installation, three sets by three bands, a really long piece of performance art, or six to eight artists each performing twelve minutes or less of material. All projects must be self-contained and technically constrained. We’ll turn the lights on and off; artists must be prepared do the rest.

Open Studio dates and project descriptions will be posted throughout the year on our website. Buckle up.

We plan to consider project proposals three times over the season.

SUPPORT | ARTISTS | COMMUNITY | GROWTH62

A lot of work goes into creating contemporary performance.Artists are continually exploring and refining, and at OtB we endeavor to help them in any way we can.

Just in the summer of 2014 many artists were hard at work in our “dark” theaters: Megan Murphy and Greg Lachow reunited with their collaborators in preparation for their October premiere. Kyle Abraham and company developed technical design for his new work. Kate Wallich worked out new ideas with her dancers and musicians. Amy O’Neal set moves on her all-star dance crew. Michelle Ellsworth invited a team of trusted colleagues and confidants to view work-in-progress showings.

Artists who aren’t in the upcoming season were working hard too: Kristen Kosmas worked on a new play that is still a few years out. Zoe Scofield wrapped her head around choreographing for the Pennsylvania Ballet. Peggy Piacenza continued workshopping a new solo work. And that’s only a partial list!

Throughout the year, the Performance Production Program gives artists resources and support including commissioning, rehearsal space, technical residencies, production support, mentoring, and advocacy as they create and develop new projects. These are all essential for working artists! We’re grateful to the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and all of our funders whosupport the creation of new performance through this important initiative.

63EDUCATION | COMMUNITY | FAMILY | KNOWLEDGE | GROWTH

FAMILY/EDUCATIONKIDS? FAMILIES? AT OtB?

WHY NOT?Cutting-edge contemporary performance isn’t just for grownups.At OtB, we believe that young audiences are just as capable of critical thinking and as justified in artistic opinion as adults. Challenging art allows for new thoughts and experiences, which are critical in building a better society. Let’s broaden the conversation by inviting more people to join!

Many of our shows this season are appropriate for young audiences. Contact us to learn more about show content and running time. You know your kids better than anyone, and we’re happy to help you get the information you need to make a decision.

ALSO: we’ve changed the start time for most of our Sunday shows to 5pm, making it easy to get to the show and still be in bed by a decent time for the beginning of the week.

COMMUNITY | FOOD | CONVERSATION | EXPERIENCE

STUDIO SUPPERS“So long as you have food in your mouth, you have solved all questions for the time being.”

– FRANZ KAFKA

“On the Boards has solved the communal dining conundrum by starting with an actual community.”

– THE STRANGER

The ideal solution to dinner and a show: enjoy a meal at the venue itself, then head upstairs to catch the performance. OtB’s Studio Suppers let you sit down with like-minded art goers to a meal prepared on-site by some of Seattle’s finest chefs.

Imagine savoring a pre-show lamb shank tagine, classic plate of pasta, or spicy curry with wild boar (some of last year’s standouts!), accompanied by the perfect glass of wine. Add a post-meal coffee and a handmade truffle, and you’ll be prepared to take in some art.

The pay-what-you-can sliding scale ($25–$100) gets you a seat at the communal table. A portion of the proceeds goes to a charity of the chef’s choice: last year we secured donations of more than $14,500 for organizations including Women’s Funding Alliance, Cascade Bicycle Club, and Northwest Harvest.

Reservations are on a first-come, first-served basis and will be taken two weeks in advance. Get more details on suppers and chefs and sign up for the supper email listat ontheboards.org.

See you at supper!
