Seattle Festival of Dance and Improvisation!


I'm thrilled to be teaching as part of the Seattle Festival of Dance and Improvisation this week. They've got a great roster of teachers and classes going on, both live and online. I wish I could say I was in the Pacific Northwest but alas I am home and once again, going to reconnect with my kitchen as a dance space. If you're interested in joining me I'll be teaching 7/13 and 7/14, Tuesday and Thursday from 1pm-3pm EST. If you can't make my class but are interested in the festival, check it out here. It's a month long festival! https://summer.velocitydancecenter.org/

Never Before Never Again ~ Improvisation Festival | BKLYN

I’m performing at Triskelion Arts as part of Never Before Never Again, a festival dedicated to improvisation. “Our goal is to bring together improvisation-based performance artists, to cross-pollinate communities, and to highlight the varied possibilities and styles of improvisation. The artists presented chase the surprises and invitations that come along with improvising for an audience and approach performance as an experiment rather than a predetermined idea.” This year’s month long festival is curated by The Lovelies.

I’m thrilled to be apart of it! Come see us on Jan. 16 and 17th in Brooklyn.

More information, the lineup, and tickets HERE!

Donnell Oakley presents her solo, Being Magnificent. Being Marginal., as well as a new trio, Epoquetude, unfolding from the solo. The works evolve from a feeling of one to many; from a hyper self-conscious individual to our connection to each other and the more significant wilderness around us.

Donnell Oakley Makes Dances @ Dance Now | Joe's Pub

An excerpt of Being Magnificent. Being Marginal. will be performed by the fabulous Sara Barney, Carolyn Cryer, Courtney Drasner and Jordan Risdon on Thursday, September 7th at this year's Dance Now Festival!

Fascinated with the multiple lenses from which we perceive ourselves, I have agency over many situations while catching myself still bending to what may be expected of me. Within these roles I am also considering 2 vantage points. Is it "better" and can we see more clearly if we're in the center of everything or on the edges of the action? 

Tickets are hot and go quickly! Grab them while you can.
