> ArtsyFartsyTheatre is back with 34 Candles, a one-woman show with other people in it. Inspired by punk rock, time travel, and John Hughes, Alianna Jaqua, choreographer/writer/performer and producer of ArtsyFartsyTheatre (From Buddha to Broadway), presents a new evening-length autobiographical comedy.  Jaqua's dynamic and absurd use of story, dance, rock n roll, and video by Alex Berry, reveals an evening of concocted personal fantasies and self-effacing realities.

>  
> 34 Candles refers to the 1984 film Sixteen Candles directed by John Hughes. Jaqua samples this film as well as other contemporary cultural touchstones like Mad Men and So You Think You Can Dance, commenting on the cultural power of art and entertainment. Her band, The New Waves, performs cover songs live, including The B52s, “Song for a Future Generation”. Drawing source material from both fantasy and reality, Jaqua asks herself, how do our fantasies shape our real life and real life choices shape our dreams?
> 
>  
> This work has been made possible in part by the generous support of 4Culture.
> 
> Alianna Jaqua’s performances and choreography have been shown in New York City, the Bay Area and throughout Seattle since 1999. She achieved local notoriety as Suzi Spotlight in the Seattle guerrilla performance art duo, Fankick! The duo was named one of “65 Best Ways To Love Our City” by Seattle Metropolitan magazine (2006) and was commissioned by Microsoft, The Seattle Art Museum, and the Consumer Electronic Showcase in Las Vegas. Her choreography has been presented by The Public Theater in NYC, D-9 Dance Collective, On the Boards, and Velocity Dance Center and has been supported by 4Culture and Artist Trust. Alianna holds a BFA in dance from Cornish College of the Arts and a certificate of completion from Upright Citizens Brigade’s comedy improvisation training program in New York City. Her influences include Miranda July, Laurie Anderson, and Dina Martina.
