To the creative soul who’s always had a crush on the arts but thought it was too late to start,

This is your place to explore, grow, take up space, and play in the mess you make.
We can’t wait to move, groove, and create with you.
May your crush on the arts bloom into a vibrant relationship that allows you to express your authentic self

WHAT WE DO
By using our various offerings to provide you with a creative toolkit, SaltShake gifts you a series of playful containers that allow you to go from overwhelmed by the realities of life, to transmuting those realities into performance art that leaves you feeling grounded in your body and empowered by your own story.
Nice to meet you.
I’m Meg.
Founder of SaltShake and Artistic Director of The Frettes, I believe expression through the performing arts can be used as a tool to ground in the body, and transmute the stories of our internal landscape into empowering self portraits. Here at SaltShake, we invite you to nourish the little seed in your soul that has been calling you to express yourself creatively. We provide the toolkit, so all you have to do is play.

Although we operate from a trauma-informed lens and believe the performing arts to often provide catharsis for creators, we are not a replacement for professional mental health care. We are however happy to offer recommendations to excellent mental health professionals in Washington State who have experience in the arts.
