Anne Carson's translation of Euripides' Bacchae is reformulated from within a bizarre newsroom world where everyone is queer, trans, and about to join a cult. But what kind of cult is it? TV News Reporters Clark Bribe (Cliff Hengst) and Mark Tancaster (Danny Thanh Nguyen) believe it's a cult ritualized through Gender Reveal Parties and their tragic aftermaths. But cult expert and raging dyke Dottie Reed (Annie Danger) soon reveals that the GRC cult is much more than straight people obsessing over basic color palettes. In an experimental mash-up of dance, theater, and puppetry, Before Bacchae Before complicates binarized logics of reveal in favor of wilder, deeper becomings. Choreographed by Hope Mohr, in collaboration with the performers; Puppet and Object Animation by C. Michael Chin; ASL Interpretation by Pilar Marsh.

Before Bacchae Before

A trans-queer, dance-theater takedown of gender reveal parties that culminates in a ritual for the trans kids we want futures for.

An homage to what emotions dance allows to leak and bloom. Created as a way to teach film students how to collaborate with and showcase a performance artist's work, Global Media Lab (University of Washington Bothell) students designed, directed, and shot this short dance&nbsp;on film, using my previous body of work and special interests to inspire the world they built for me to dance in. Haunting, lovely, vibrant, weird, funny, eerie, emotional, and sincere, CODA is NEVE's yawp on how much we have endured, and how much more we have to face. It is a meditation on freedom, expression, embodiment, and what it means to survive.&nbsp;
