The Bonnies | Kaitlin McCarthy + Jenny Peterson

Entry Point, January 31, 4 PM - 6 PM

The Bonnies (twin flames Kaitlin McCarthy and Jenny Peterson) have been making strange performance works together in Seattle, WA, since 2013. Gravitating to the grotesque/off-kilter/marvelous, their work rides the edges of humor and horror to find transformation and intimacy.

One of us is tall, one is short, both are Type A weirdos. Jenny is a Seattle artist working in dance, photography, and music/sound. She grew up a competitive gymnast in the Chicago suburbs and has never recovered. Jenny boasts 17 years of performing professionally in Seattle, including with the Pat Graney Company since 2008. She holds a B.A. in Dance and Visual Arts from UC Irvine and is a licensed massage therapist. Kaitlin is a Seattle-based dance artist, teacher, and journalist. She has performed with countless local choreographers since 2010, including Alice Gosti/MALACARNE for over a decade. A prominent dance writer about town, she edits the publication SeattleDances and specializes in teaching adult beginning dance.

The Bonnies have performed at Risk/Reward festival, WET’s Six-Pack Series, Velocity’s NextFest, OTB’s Open Studio, Boost Dance Festival, NEPO 5k, Seattle Intl Dance Festival, High F@ggotry, and other underground art salons and nightlife performance venues. In 2024, they premiered their first evening-length work, DRIVE WOLVES MAD, and their upcoming work, I'm on Fire, You're on Fire, We're on Fire, will premiere as part of Velocity Dance Center's season, March 4-8, 2026.
