Waiting @ Firehouse Arts and Events Center

Kuntz and Company artists Alona Christman, Vanessa Daines, Pam Kuntz and Kate Stevenson along with community members Hazel, Emily, Naquoia, Shalini, Kathy, Ann, Kim, Angela, Evelyn, and Skyla bring “WAITING” to the Firehouse Arts and Events Center, October 3-5 @ 7:30 and October 5-6 @ 5:00.
“WAITING” is a new dance/theatre piece created by Kuntz and Company artists Alona Christman, Vanessa Daines, Pam Kuntz and Kate Stevenson, along with 10 community members ages 12-75, that explores that very idea for each of these women. What they all have in common is that waiting certainly isn’t about doing nothing. “WAITING” investigates the unknown or the inevitable, the exciting or the devastating, or the mundane or the thrill of waiting. The performers dive into the obstacles, the patience, the relationships, or the self-generated tensions surrounding all that is waiting. What has emerged is a wildly imaginative landscape filled with humor, sadness, nature, flying, water fountains, and wrestling…all inside a dance piece.
Tickets $15 students/seniors, $20 general at kuntzandco.org. Appropriate for all ages.October 3-5 @ 7:30 and October 5-6 @ 5:00.
Firehouse Arts and Events Center, 1314 Harris AvenueContact Pam Kuntz at 360-510-4711 or kuntzpam@gmail.com with questions or disability accommodations.
