The Bonnies

Kaitlin McCarthy and Jenny Peterson have been making strange performance works together in Seattle, WA since 2013. Together as “The Bonnies” they gravitate to the grotesque/off-kilter/marvelous like moths to the flame. The Bonnies have performed at WET’s Six-Pack Series, Velocity’s Fall Kick Off, OTB’s Open Studio, NextFest 2022, Boost Dance Festival, NEPO 5k, Seattle International Dance Festival, Chloe & Co’s DROVE XII and X, and other self-produced performances and underground art salons.

This work was formerly billed as “Papoose” in reference to the Algonquin word for a baby carrier. After further consideration we believe usage of this word without proper context was in error and have updated the name to better reflect our cultural heritage.
