Description from the publisher

Alana O. Rogers Dance Company presents Fractured A new contemporary dance work Set on the immersive SENSORIUM installation at Base Camp Studios 2 Alana O’Farrell Rogers presents Fractured, a contemporary dance work featuring 17 local dancers inside a custom set by seven local visual artists. A commentary on the fragmentation of our attention through technology and its design, the work responds to the inundation of information in modern life and how it has shattered our capacity to focus, leaving us inattentive, blank, unfeeling. Fractured investigates the consequences of that reality on our most intimate relationships and greater social fabric. Rogers brought in Stocker and Loopstra to curate a visual art installation to be used as a set for Fractured. When Nick Ferderer and his team at Base Camp Studios 2 gave Rogers three full months in which to program, it opened the door for SENSORIUM’s installation to be used as a set for multiple additional performances. Rogers has since curated other performances from Seattle’s contemporary dance and drag scenes to complete the calendar. **The performance on Sunday, November 1 at 6 pm is specifically geared towards all ages, including children under 12. All ages are welcome at any performance.** October 23, 24, 30, November 6, 7, 2026 at 8 pm November 1, 2026 at 6 pm TICKETS: https://www.alanaorogers.org/sensorium About SENSORIUM SENSORIUM is an immersive installation at Base Camp Studios 2. Seven visual artists will construct an “eclectic mansion” of rooms, each with a distinct aesthetic voice, from minimalist to maximal. Using sculpture, murals, textiles, found objects, video projection, and lighting, the installation will create layered, sensorial spaces that visitors can walk through and inhabit. The experience of each room will act to mirror our nervous systems in the face of constant overstimulation from technology. SENSORIUM was collectively curated by Esther Loopstra and Alaina Stocker, with input from Alana O’Farrell Rogers. Visual artists include: Loopstra, Stocker, Nadia Ahmed, Maayan Haim, Nahom Ghirmay, Marisa Manso, and Cam Smith. A central feature of this installation is collaboration. Outside of daytime gallery hours, SENSORIUM will serve as a set for evening performances in a cross-disciplinary series where dance, drag, and visual art intersect. Alana O’Farrell Rogers has curated a not-to-be-missed line-up, including her own Alana O. Rogers Dance Company; drag performances from Seattle’s best: TUSH, Glory Hole, and High F@ggotry; and CO-, the dance production company famous for blending cutting edge dance with socializing at their Performance + Party events. Gallery hours when performances are not in session will be posted on a weekly basis. SENSORIUM will also host a figure drawing session and an artist talk-back during the run of the show. Stay tuned for more information on these events.
