Red Eye presents KIN Artists Partnerships, a four part series of national dance artists that pass through Red Eye with one animating principle: relationship. Enduring relationship.
DADS is Drama Tops‘ newest queer tragedy: a wholesome, sci-fi dreamscape about fatherhood, grief, and what it means to make the world better when you’re not sure you can.
Elby Brosch and Shane Donohue dive headfirst into the chaotic waters of loss and masculinity, mixing improvisation, athletic partnering, and sheer physical exhaustion to crack open the deepest parts of their queer grief. Part existential odyssey, part club night.
The show’s velcro costumes, inflatable sculptures, and stage-sized set are designed to literally stick to and weigh down the performers—until a giant inflatable engulfs the stage entirely. A new world is created: organic, chaotic, beautiful.
Drama Tops blends nightlife and concert modern dance into something funny, rigorous, and hard to shake. DADS is their most ambitious work yet.
Red Eye is glad to be that room. Shane grew up in Wisconsin and the Twin Cities was a formative part of his art life. Shane also is in Red Eye’s professional network as he runs Velocity: Seattle’s center dedicated to contemporary dance.
