Matthew Offenbacher:

Hello, I have been an artist and grassroots community organizer in Seattle for almost twenty years. My work has been called “freakishly egoless”, vulnerable, funny and queer. A critic once wrote that in my work “quality control is replaced by good will” which I think was intended as a bad review, but I like it. My most recent project was a painting/performance residency at Oxbow in Georgetown with four dancers, a rock musician and a bystander intervention trainer.

Description:

Masculinity. We’ll explore some of the ways that men move though the world — with a special focus on how white cis-men take up space. I’m most interested in dance that does not require special technique and builds a sense of community and shared trust. We’ll do a little discussing and then some experiments with task-based improvisational movement. People of all genders welcome!
