Last year the Tacoma Dance Collective-produced Furniture Series collaborative dance performance captured local hearts and minds with its inventive choreography and artful presentation. This year the Furniture Series is back, promising more of the same, plus new dancers and three new full acts. Under the artistic direction of Robin Jaecklein, and featuring dancers from the Tacoma School of the Arts along with Robin Jennings Jaecklein, Joel Myers, Hannah Crowley, Mary Tuttle, Danny Boulet and Faith Stevens, this year's presentation of the Furniture Series seems destine to reach new heights of awesomeness. All of it, naturally, is set to original music by Jamie Alls, Paul Eliot, Colin Reynolds and Ruth Taylor, and features costume design by Lisa Fruichantie, lighting by Kelly Doran and sets by Jim Jaecklein. Also included this year is the visual arts gallery event Vases, provided by Terri Placentia and Jimmy Gosselin.
