It’s tonight and it’s all part of City Arts Fest…Genre Bender features several local artists collaborating on a variety of different projects. We think you might be intrigued by Mr. Hurley’s new film he made with dancer/choreographer Amy O’Neal. Here’s some skinny on the event:

What’s a food poem? A dance film? A performance art musical? For the “Genre Bender” showcase, City Arts Festival is creating an exciting new platform for some of Seattle’s favorite theater, dance, food, music, literary and performing artists to create new projects (and new artistic genres) together. This summer, CAF will play match maker and assemble 4-6 teams of interdisciplinary artists who haven’t collaborated together before. Each team will receive $500 to create a brand new project to present one night only to the City Arts Festival audience. By intermixing artistic disciplines, these artists will experiment with the boarders of art to create new works that combine forces and stretch the limits of innovation.
