ilvs strauss In Manifesto, strauss-who favors the e.e. cummings school of orthography-manages to tell an intensely personal story about childbearing and choice, but without hyperbole or drama. Instead she is more of a tour guide, leading us through a witty narration that combines the reproductive lives of sea cucumbers and family obligations. Throughout, Manifesto reflects on a life lived outside standard expectations, strauss being a woman who does not want children. She has a deft touch both physically and verbally, making potentially fraught ideas almost lighthearted. SANDRA KURTZ Velocity Dance Center, 1621 12th Ave., Seattle, WA 98122 $15-$20 Friday, May 22, 2015, 7:30pm
