The Pat Graney Dance Company will perform at Dance Place at 3225 Eighth St. NE on Friday at 8 p.m., Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 7 p.m. The time of the Sunday performance is incorrect in the May 4 Weekend section, which was printed in advance. Speaking from her Seattle office, Graney contemplates tattoos.
Tattoos are like memories being embedded in our bodies and our minds. . . .
They're tribal markings. I love that tattoos show these hidden, unconscious sorts of identities in people. It's just so unexpected. It really changes your perception about people. If I see someone with a tattoo, it changes everything, I may think they are aligned with something more counterculture.
