What do you want for your well-being?
Your family and friends?
Your neighborhood?
Your community?
For Seattle?

What can we do together? SHORE Community Visioning Session led by artist Emily Johnson, inspires collective responsibility in imagining and creating the future, individual and community agency, and the ability for imagination to become action, thus manifesting true change. Through games and discourse we brainstorm and expand upon hundreds of ideas, providing ourselves with a map to the future we want. Join us to share your ideas, and help shape the Community Action component of Emily Johnson's newest work, SHORE. All are welcome!

On the Boards

SHORE is Emily Johnson/Catalyst’s new dance work. SHORE is the third in a trilogy of works that began with The Thank-you Bar and continued with Niicugni. SHOREis a multi-day performance installation of dance, story, volunteerism, and feasting. It is a celebration of the places where we meet and merge - land and water, performer and audience, art and community, past, present, and future.

Over the course of a week, SHORE includes Community Action (volunteerism), STORY (a curated reading); Performances (outdoor / indoor installation) at On the Boards; and a Feast (potluck celebration).
