Jump/Cut

Jump/Cut is a three-weekend program curated by Jay Kuehner, inviting audiences to Base on January 3, 10, and 17 at 7 PM. This moving image showcase explores varieties of kinesthetic cinema in historical and contemporary contexts. These works gesture toward new forms: of choreography released from time and space by the camera, of cinema attuned to the exigencies of the body.

Jump/Cut is a part of Base’s pilot programming, aiming to create more space for the creation and experiencing of multidisciplinary art. Arising organically from conversations with members of Seattle’s creative community, Base hopes these programmatic experiments provide compelling creative opportunities while filling a gap in the local arts landscape.

Tickets range from FREE to $50.
Walk-up tickets are also available!
