We’ve got a great upcoming program to conclude our 2019 W.T. Preston Steamboat Artist in Residency Program. On Saturday, November 23 from 5:30-7 PM, join the Anacortes Museum, the Seattle based dance company MALACARNE, and filmmaker @junezandonaworks in the first public screening of their dance film created on the W.T. Preston. ✨

During the month of August, this all-womxn dance company and a film production crew worked on the W.T. Preston as part of the Anacortes Museum Artist in Residence Program that invited artists to create new works in response to the history, culture, and engineering of the National Historic Landmark Steamboat. ✨

Led by choreographer @gostiaa their combined efforts culminate in a 15-minute film that explores the mechanics of the boat and invents new choreographies in the wheelhouse, galley, Captain’s quarters, and other nooks and crannies of this three-deck steamboat that once cleared the riverways of Washington State. 📷: Director: June Zandona Cinematographer: Coburn Erskine
