SALT HORSE (2008-2016) was a dance, sound, visual-theater performance company created by dancers Beth Graczyk and Corrie Befort and musicians Angelina Baldoz and Jason E Anderson based in Seattle. Salt Horse created visually rich, sensation-based works that illuminated the quiet, unseen, or hidden aspects of nature and the human experience. The company members rigorously merged improvisation and composition to create arresting narratives that wove between the literal and the abstract.
Salt Horse was formed through a series of residencies and performances in Japan and Seattle between 2005 and 2008. Together they created four-evening length works: This Was A Cliff (2008), Man On The Beach (2010), Titan Arum (2011), and Color Field (2014). In addition, they were commissioned by Cornish College of the Arts, Velocity Dance Center, Northwest Film Forum and the City of Seattle. Funders include Artist Trust, 4 Culture, Washington State Arts Commission, The National Endowment for the Arts and the SCUBA national touring network.
