RandAll Dance had our first performances this summer in Beyond the Threshold International Dance Festival at Seattle Center, and in Georgetown's Artopia Festival. It was an interactive performance where we asked audience people to "connect the dancers" by stringing red yarn between us and tying us in knots.

The miles of yarn came from my late grandmother's collection of yarn. She unintentionally collected 13 storage boxes worth of yarn, always in anticipation of starting new projects. I like to think that we are all still connected even though my grandmother's ashes were thrown into the sea breeze. The lines of quivering red yarn in a confusing tangle and connecting the dancers gave a glimpse of how we are all tied together.

Thank you to the amazing dancers who joined me for these performances:
