California native Keyes Wiley is a multi-dimensional art maker, who creates out of necessity. Their vast movement vocabulary spans a lifetime of influences. As of late they have been organizing in the streets of Seattle but usually they dabble in dance, sound, theater, a combo of all three or none of the above. Wiley has been an arts educator in Seattle since 2009. When they are not in the studio you can find Markeith at Rainier Dance Center in Rainier Beach as the director of hip hop/street styles dance, choreographing with Seattle Children’s Theatre or at Markeith’s alma mater Cornish College of the Arts.
Keyes has performed or collaborated with Kitten N Lou, Dani Tirrell, On the Boards, the CD Forum & many other national/international artists. Prior to shelter in place Wiley hosted a DJ event at Vermillion Art Gallery & Bar with Alice Gosti and started a monthly performance party at Studio Current called SC Sessions. Wiley was a member of the 2014 City Arts Future List & also graced the cover of the magazine in 2016.
