Resident Artist Open House: Degenerate Art Ensemble
Degenerate Art Ensemble, our third Base Resident Artist of the season, will be in residency at Base for three weeks in March, working in collaboration with Colorado based sculptor and performance artist Senga Nengudi and Cincinnati based violinist and singer Eddy Kwon. Join us on March 27 for our Resident Artist Open House and get an inside look at what they've been working on!
In their own words, Degenerate Art Ensembleco-directed by Crow Nishimura and Joshua Khol makes live performances inspired by punk, comics, cinema, protest, nightmares and fairy tales driven by live music and our own style of visceral movement theater and dance.
Degenerate Art Ensemble and collaborators will explore their newest work, Boy mother / faceless bloom, a multimedia performance work co-created by Senga Nengudi, Eddy Kwon, and Degenerate Art Ensemble. Combining large-scale sculptural and scenic design, live and recorded music, and embodied movement, Boy mother / faceless bloom tells the story of a young boy who learns he will be a mother.

About the Base Residency:
After three years of experimentation, our inaugural season marks a bold retooling of our signature Base Residency program, with changes aimed at expanding and deepening the positive impact of the program within the arts community. Selected from an open call, four Base Resident Artists will receive three-week, full-access residencies each yearrepresenting an increase in both the duration of the residency and number of residencies awarded each year.
The intent is the same: to provide artists with an experience of drastic freedom in an atmosphere free of external pressure. For three uninterrupted weeks, Base Resident Artists dive deep into their disciplines, using 24/7 access to Base for development, self-challenge and experimentation. Each Base Residency culminates in an open house that offers a public vantage point on a particular stage in the creative development of a project or specific aspects of an artists practice.
Base is thrilled to announce our 2019/2020 Base Resident Artists: Coley Mixan, Jenna Eady, Degenerate Art Ensemble and Same as Sister. Selected from a pool of more than 40 applicants from Seattle and beyond, these artists embody Base's mission to support risk and experimentation in distinct and unexpected ways.
Base is ADA accessible through the North entrance. Email schedule@thisisbase.org for information and questions about accessibility.
