Since then\, with gaps and lapses\, they have been in the middle of a project together more than not\, creating across various life stages and state lines. Their work has been presented in many of the places they’ve lived including Los Angeles\, San Diego\, San Francisco\, and Seattle. It has also taken them to Almada\, Portugal where they tasted the world’s finest egg tart\, Jakarta\, Indonesia\, where they had a surreal karaoke experience\, and Bytom\, Poland\, where the entire town’s power shut down for 15 seconds in the middle of their show. Their dances have been both lauded and panned by press\, have sold out and been ignored\, and have provided them with 25 years of process and friendship and sometimes ambition and occasionally depletion\, and always something both known and a mystery. Rachael is an associate professor at the University of Washington and Leslie is a professor at San Diego State University. Some of their shared mentor/collaborator/influences are: Sara Shelton Mann\, Jo Kreiter\, Kathleen Hermesdorf\, Bebe Miller\, K.J. Holmes\, Amelia Rudolph\, Keith Hennessy\, Kim Epifano\, Joe Goode\, and LIVEpractice/AVID. They are currently touring Long Playing\, part three of an accidental trilogy of evening-length duets.

We will slow down to sense more\, and speed up to access our before-thinking impulses. Can we get better at making coincidences happen? Can mistakes\, awkwardness\, and disruptions be our guides? Can we fully feel brief glimpses of unexpected beauty? Ideas will be layered and we will tune our presence towards togetherness. \nREGISTER \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n RACHEL LINCOLN + LESLIE SEITERS \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Rachael Lincoln and Leslie Seiters met in San Francisco in 1997 dancing on steel apparatuses under the direction of Jo Kreiter. Since then\, with gaps and lapses\, they have been in the middle of a project together more than not\, creating across various life stages and state lines. Their work has been presented in many of the places they’ve lived including Los Angeles\, San Diego\, San Francisco\, and Seattle. It has also taken them to Almada\, Portugal where they tasted the world’s finest egg tart\, Jakarta\, Indonesia\, where they had a surreal karaoke experience\, and Bytom\, Poland\, where the entire town’s power shut down for 15 seconds in the middle of their show. Their dances have been both lauded and panned by press\, have sold out and been ignored\, and have provided them with 25 years of process and friendship and sometimes ambition and occasionally depletion\, and always something both known and a mystery. Rachael is an associate professor at the University of Washington and Leslie is a professor at San Diego State University. Some of their shared mentor/collaborator/influences are: Sara Shelton Mann\, Jo Kreiter\, Kathleen Hermesdorf\, Bebe Miller\, K.J. Holmes\, Amelia Rudolph\, Keith Hennessy\, Kim Epifano\, Joe Goode\, and LIVEpractice/AVID. They are currently touring Long Playing\, part three of an accidental trilogy of evening-length duets.
