An evening-length work created by dancers Corrie Befort and Beth Graczyk and musician Angelina Baldoz, the Seattle premiere of Salt Horse is the culmination of a series of residencies and performances in Seattle and Japan since 2005 (performance history below).

Structured by layers of scored improvisation, choreography, composed sound and film work, Salt Horse illuminates how time may affect one's ability to shift perception.  Two characters, one dense and one hollow, traverse a room, a forest, and a wormhole to reveal their separate fates.  A voice becomes water, bodies fly, crumble and morph. Salt Horse is a playful and dark look at petrification and evolution.

Committed to rigorous investigation of improvisation and composition, the collaborating artists have richly varied backgrounds. Graczyk is both an accomplished dancer and a published biochemist. Befort, recently dual-based in Seattle and Japan, is a commissioned choreographer and filmmaker. Baldoz, trumpet, bass and voice, has scored feature films and collaborated with renowned dance artists.  Full biographies follow.
