Airings...voices of our youth
Kuntz and Company, a non-profit, dance/theatre company founded and directed by Pam Kuntz, presents AiringsThe Voices of Our Youth, an extraordinary performance work that explores the pressures young people face in the formative years of Middle and High School, when they are maturing physically, emotionally, sexually and socially.
Airings was created in partnership with staff from the Bellingham and Mount Baker School Districts, The Whatcom Family and Community Network, faculty at Western Washington Universitys Psychology Department and, most importantly, more than twenty teenagers in our community who have shared their stories. The power of Airings lies in the true stories of these young people expressing THEIR thoughts and THEIR feelings in THEIR words.
As is typical of Kuntzs work, the piece combines the talents of professional performers with community members stories through movement, text, sound and visual art. Airings features Bellingham artists and Kuntz and Company collaborators Evyn Bartlett, Cara Congelli, Angela Kiser, and Yuki Matsukura.
Airings is the sixteenth in a series of performance pieces created by Pam Kuntz exploring a wide range of social and personal issues based on the stories of local community members. Past works include Hide and Seek (2014), Hello My Name is You (2013), The Family Project (2012), Leave My Shoes by the Door (2011), Stories from Jim and Jo (2010), Conversations (2008), That One Curve (2006), and The Mom Project (2005). Using dance as the vehicle for delivering these stories, performers provide a revealing, multi-sensory experience that makes public those things we dont normally talk about.
Airings is supported in part by The Whatcom Family and Community Network, WECU, The Community Food Co-op, The Whatcom Community Foundation, Village Books, The Chuckanut Health Foundation, and numerous individuals.
Seven performances of Airings will be held at the Firehouse Performing Arts Center, 1314 Harris Avenue, Bellingham, WA over the period of two weeks.
November 3, 4, 5 @ 7:30 PM, Nov 6 @ 5:00 PM and Nov 10, 11, 12 @ 7:30 PM.
