ABOUT THE FESTIVAL:
Velocity Dance Center presents Next Fest NW, an amazing collection of dance and dance films, featuring some of the most engaging voices coming out of the Pacific NW

This years’ festival presents live choreography (December 12-14, 2008 at 8 PM) by northwest artists Carla Barragan, Suniti Dernovsek (PDX), Alice Gosti w/ DAKA, Kelly Sullivan, and Aiko Kinoshita /Aaron Swartzman;

As well as dance films in Next Dance Cinema (December 4 at The Henry and December 11 at Northwest Film Forum, screenings at 7 PM) curated by Karn Junkinsmith by Paige Barnes/The Music of Grayface, Carla Barragan, Corrie Befort, Catherine Cummings, Kristina Dillard, Yuki Enomoto, Alice Gosti [AIRPORTPROJECT], Karn Junkinsmith, Ricki Mason, Erika Mayfield, Megan Mertaugh, Renee Rhodes, Adam Sekuler, Nathan Vass/Rachel Randall, and Jenna Veatch.

this is what they wrote on the press release:
Alice Gosti has created 2times3 by merging two of her award winning dances, WonderBra (2007) and 3 (2008), into one transporting piece. The women in the world of 2times3 move in space, each woman dealing with the questions her life presents. Gosti focuses on creating a multi-sensorial world/atmosphere in which the movement performed is aimed at moving the viewers in a motional and emotional way. The performers are Devin McDermott, Shannon Narasimhan, Anh Nguyen, Rachel Randall, and Katherine Riggs.

daka premier

from alice & anh

-we did it. last night was the performance ... we were to go fourth, then second, then fourth, then finally second. what an emotional rollercoaster. i think some other dancers were trying to fuck with our heads. there was tons of smoke and alice got to sit in the booth with the tech boys. .. who are actually our age (opposed to the techs here in the states who are ... not). we were so amazing. one girl commented "it was, i think, the best one i have seen yet. i do not have to think when i watch it. it was simple, the lighting, and the images were beautiful." and we said, 'omgomgomgomg. graaaaazie.'

-katie and devin left last night so it is now just alice and I. we were done with our task and partied hard. but this morning we went to the feedback session to receive comments about our piece. gooood stuff.

-a bit crazy to be finished with months of hard work in less than 11 minutes. but now we can move on the bigger things. Madonna - here we come. TOUR 2009!
