Over the past month or so, a quorum of Seattle's culture constituency has convened every Wednesday night at the Frye to get to know the fifteen nominees for this year's Stranger Genius Awards (so far we've hung out with musicians, artists, filmmakers, and writers) and generally muse, drink, kvetch, and gossip.

This Wednesday night, you can get to know the four dance artists who are up for this year's performance award: Pat Graney, Zoe Scofield/Juniper Shuey, and Amy O'Neal. We will talk about bodies, bugs, rejection, prison, sneaking out at night to attend dance clubs in foreign countries during one's teenage years, and the pleasures and pains of being on display.

Tickets are almost sold out (the poster below says they're sold out) but you can jump for the last few over here.

Doors open and booze cascades into glasses at 5:30 pm. We sit down and start watching dance clips and having conversations at 6:30 pm.

What happens next is up to you.
