Katie Scherman, 2009 Princess Grace Award Winner and the 2017-2018 BodyVox Resident Artist, premieres her second evening length work, following the success of “Complicated Women” which premiered at Performance Works NW as part of her 2016 Alembic Artist Residency.  “To Have It All” is an evening length performance featuring past works by Scherman and a new original work exploring the stories of women as they question and reflect on what ‘all’ is and why it is so important.  Live music, film, and dancing will intertwine to translate the blossoming kaleidoscope of feelings which encapsulate the attainable yet impossible quest “To Have it All”.
