Ever feel like there is so much in you that you are just vibrating with the desire to get it out! Not out of the head like it’s a bad thing, but (both in and) out of all your energy centers that somehow seem simultaneously tuned and bursting, aching to synchronize all that is inside you with all that is around you?!
Well, that’s us right now dear Salt Lake City friends.
We have so much… ideas developed and those developing, somewhere between the just rooting seed and the wise sage.
We cannot wait, literally, to ALLY UP! and play with you.
We have approximately 35 humans involved directly in this performance, from dancers to bikers, from sound engineer to chefs… a painter, several forms of designers, a… ring boy!?… so many people, companies and institutions are giving so much, and we are awed and honored to be the conduit and conductors – do allow us this gift to share with you, GIDDY UP! GIT YOUR TICKETS!
Some Reminders / Some New for ALLY UP! JUNE 25, 2022:
6 - 7:15PM
- Artist Jamie Clyde will be exhibiting original works created for this event that will be for sale, as well as a selection of prints.
- We have a doctor and a botanist - Ty Dickerson and Hope Hornbeck - spearheading the Food and Beverage station. Tickets will include HOT DOGS FOR ALL and all there will be BEVERAGES FOR PURCHASE.
7:15PM
- Get to your seats / stand your ground, as we open to the main event – choreographer Charlotte Boye-Christensen’s new work, inspired by an all-female WRESTLING MATCHwitnessed in Cholula, Mexico, lit by pickup truck headlights – set on dancers Tara McArthur and Sydney Sorenson as GOOGOO GOLDRUSH and THUNDER ROSE, with special appearance by Joshua Pace and others, with hair/makeup by Emiley Golie and Stephanie Ericson, sound by Adam Day… and and and…
8:15ish to 10pm
- Let’s hang out, listen to MUSIC, re-open the BAR and, well, do what the humans DO!
AAAAND, if that’s not enough (we aren’t tired yet!), we have two smaller events prior to the BIG EVENT. See below and maybe you too can have the full meal deal.

At MAVEN CREATE – 177 E 900 South, please join the discussion at a free MEET THE ARTISTS talk and Q+A moderated by Brian Kubarycz, associate professor at the University of Utah honors college in Literature and Philosophy and, also, a fiction writer and poet, visual artist and musician.
WEDNESDAY JUNE 22 AT 10AM
At MAVEN STRONG - 155 E 900 South, JOIN A SPECIAL CLASS led by NOW-ID directors - Choreographer Charlotte Boye-Christensen and Architect Nathan Webster – who will co-teach a physical, freeform yoga-based class led by Charlotte, and incorporate some basic contemporary dance warm-up exercises as ALLY UP! dancers Tara and McArthur and Sydney Sorenson will be in class as well. Nathan will provide an intro/outro visualization and integration.
