elsewhere/otherwise
is a dance theatre performance, featuring original choreography and sound co-created by Kristen Yeung and Sadie Leigh. This work is a vehicle and a vessel for processing the deeply personal and universally shared experience of moving from one place to another.
Kristen moved to Seattle in August 2020 from Baltimore, MD and Sadie arrived in Portland in June 2022 from Washington, DC. We both left behind our families, a beloved community of friends and artists, and the only homes we'd ever known. Our bittersweet relocations propelled us toward the challenge and excitement of newness, and toward romance and partnership with people who wanted to be out west. Though our stories are not identical, the overlap is potent.
There will be four performances of Elsewhere/Otherwise - for one night only in both our old homes and new - serving as a bridge connecting our east coast roots to our west coast bloom. We invite viewers to join us, asking east coast audiences to see us off and west coast audiences to welcome us in.
