Featuring Daniel Hellmann a.k.a. Soya the Cow
Coproduced with
Velocity Dance, this
NIGHTLIGHT: Milk Moon is a performance-happening-ritual party. The headliner is visiting artist
Daniel Hellmann, also known as drag artist
Soya the Cow, whose gallery exhibition
Planet Moo opens May 12 at the Goethe Pop Up. Commemorating both the first week of
Planet Moo and the May full moon, serendipitously known as Milk Moon,
NIGHTLIGHT: Milk Moon features local and visiting performers, musical artists, and dancers.
Joining Soya to create some NIGHTLIGHT magic is her collaborator, visiting photo and video artist
Nora Smith (Switzerland/Buenos Aires). The evening also features pop up dance performances from drag house
Marlotela (Seattle) and visiting dancer and choreographer
Charles Slender-White (San Francisco); musical offerings from bands
Skull Kat and
The Gender Tender Experiment (Seattle) and a post-performance dance party with
DJ Dark_Wiley (Seattle) and the
Fox Den gogo dancers.
The Milk Moon is one of the symbolic names for May’s full moon. The Milk Moon’s name is a reference to the time of year cows were moved to their rich summer pastures, providing them with nourishment to feed their newborn calves.
NIGHTLIGHT: Milk Moon is inspired by this full moon’s story of nourishment and abundance and celebrates the way the arts nourish individuals and communities in unexpected and radical ways.
