Event

the BOOST dance festival

the BOOST dance festival was created in order to provide an opportunity for Seattle contemporary dance artists of all genres to showcase their work alongside their peers. The hundreds of artists that call the northwest home compete each year to be showcased in a handful of festivals; the competition is tough, leaving many eligible and talented artists to self-produce at a high financial cost. Marlo Martin, of eXit SPACE school of dance, understands the struggle of the artists. Ms. Martin has been a director, performer, teacher, and choreographer in the northwest for the past seven years and is now stepping into the role of producer. Martin shares, âI have a deep sense of obligation to step forward and produce. I have had so many artists help me along my path and now I can begin to give back. I look forward to introducing a diverse set of dance works to a Seattle audience. With an abundance of companies and choreographers, the competition is toughâmany new, fresh, and talented artists have not been seen by large audiences. the BOOST dance festival will give these artists a chance to perform alongside the northwestâs best.

BOOST aims to assist choreographers and directors in the promotion and development of their work.

Come to support the growth of small companies, help us lead the way into presenting a diverse group of artists at more venues for more patrons! We hope you will join us in this exciting and celebratory first year.
