Congratulations to 2026 Full Tilt choreographer Madeline Maxine Roman on receiving this wonderful grant!

Reposted from Madeline Maxine Roman The Vi**ra Ballet is officially coming to life.

Beyond honored to share that I received a 2026 National Dance Project (NDP) Production Grant through the New England Foundation for the Arts. Now celebrating its 30th and final year, NDP will provide $75,000 to support the creation and touring of this work.

Featuring silent disco headphones, punk music, and five male-presenting dancers, The Vi**ra Ballet is a dance-theater show that makes social media algorithms a physical reality. Blending ballet, contemporary, and mosh vocabularies, it uses the “manosphere” as a case study to interrogate how the digital age incentivizes spectacle, division, and ultimately violence.

I want to share so much love and gratitude to:

▪️ My wife Valentina Roman for always being an amazing dramaturg, grant co-writer extraordinaire, and cheerleader in every aspect of my life. I love you.

▪️ My brother Bill Gorman for being my creative partner in crime and finding a way to turn my insane tech ideas into a pretty manageable tech rider.

▪️ Tariq O'Meally and Chris Pfingsten for being so encouraging in their support for this idea and my application.

▪️ Elvis Navarro, Horizon Miguel, Javi Padilla, and Levi Coy for being part of the initial movement experimentation.

▪️ And last but certainly not least, thank you to Dylan Lambert for saying “yes!” to the original solo idea, helping me power through grant applications and APAP prep, and being an amazing artistic collaborator.

And a special shout out to the strangers who were also riding the bus when I got the grant notification email. I literally started yelling

Reposted from Applications are now open for the 13th Annual Choreographic Shindig ✨

Choreographers from across the country are invited to submit new creation ideas for an opportunity to create on Whim W’Him’s dancers as part of our Fall ‘27 program.

What makes Choreographic Shindig especially unique is that the selected choreographers are chosen directly by the dancers themselves, creating a process rooted in curiosity, collaboration, and artistic connection.

Over the years, Shindig has become a space for experimentation, discovery, and the sharing of new voices and perspectives in contemporary dance.

Could you be one of the next choreographers to create for Whim W’Him?

Application deadline: June 29, 2026

Reposted from We’re thrilled to announce our new paid artist residency program!

Made possible by the 4Culture Cultural Services grant and our open storefront on Roy Street, this residency responds to the need for local opportunities for artists making live work to develop their creative capacity without the pressure of delivering a finished production.

Stipends are $1,000 per week and the residencies will be offered in 1, 2, 3, or 4-week increments. Each artist or collective will be supported with professional development from OtB marketing, production, and development teams.

While in residency, the artist or collective will have exclusive use of the space.

Applications close June 28, 2026. We aim to begin the residency Fall 2026 and will serve at least 12 artists a year.

Learn more and apply: link in bio!

Full Tilt 2026 review up on SeattleDances!

"Each choreographer brought a level of composition to their work that was coherent, rich, and multilayered. The pieces went so well together, in fact, that I felt that I was just watching one long piece..." Read Alyza DelPan-Monley's take on Full Tilt 2026.
