Good GRL Co is ready to bring you our first evening length dance performance The Many Deaths of Puppy Love, but we need your help. To bring you the laughs, and the cries that you deserve we need help raising $4,000 to pay for the performance space, lighting designer, and most importantly our dancers. 

Performance space $900
Lighting Designer $700
Performance Stipends $400 for six cast members 

Of the $4,000 goal, 60% is dedicated to supporting our fearless, raw, vulnerable, and sometimes silly cast. They have dedicated 52 hours of their time spanning four months to research love and the many shapes it can take. The Many Deaths of Puppy Love explores the tumultuous journey of building a new romantic relationship. Drawing from personal experience the work takes the audience from a love at first sight encounter to hyper fixation, oversharing, the inability to see or acknowledge conflicts and problems, to the hard decisions and conversations that happen when you take your rose colored glasses off. Many Deaths of Puppy Love teeters between melodramatic performances by the cast and grounded vulnerability. The rebellion within this work comes from the ownership of the stereotypical “love crazed girl”. Rather than only highlighting moments of over-trustfulness and naivety, we look at the hopefulness that lies within a dive-head-first approach to love. The work challenges love at first sight being a demonstration of confidence, trust, and shamelessness. Good GRL Co is excited to share the captivating performances of Sara Caplan, Shayley Timm, Meredith Pellon, Anouk Otsea, Jordan Clark, and Madeleine Gregor. Don't miss The Many Deaths of Puppy Love, to be presented at Base Seattle June 26th, 27th, and 28th 2025, tickets going live April 26th.

At Good GRL Co., we are a wild, untamed force—untethered by society’s rules and the narrow gaze of a patriarchal world. As a Dance Theater company, we dig deep into personal experience, unleashing fierce, unfiltered truths. Our work is a rebellion, a celebration of the unique and unapologetic.

Led by Artistic Director Madeleine Gregor, we create a space where authenticity thrives—where our community is empowered to reject validation, embrace their own journeys, and stand in their truth. Fearless, raw, and emotional, we create art as unpredictable and real as the human spirit. We push boundaries, honor individuality, and tell stories that are as wild, untamed, and beautiful as we are. We dare to question, feel, and, above all, be free.

Sara Caplan (she/her) is a contemporary dancer, choreographer, and teaching artist originally from Dedham, MA. She received her BA Theatre: Dance Performance and her BS in Biology from The Pennsylvania State University in 2013 and her MFA in Dance from the College at Brockport in 2017. Since moving to Seattle Sara has performed in Soft Concrete III, Velocity’s Bridge Project, and Full Tilt. She has presented works in various theatres and urban venues in Pennsylvania and New York as well as in Seattle. She currently dances with Karin Stevens Dance and teaches at Creative Dance Center and Rainier Dance Center.

Shayley Timm (she/her) is a Wisconsin born, Seattle based artist who has been dancing for over twenty five years. She graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Cornish College of the Arts and also spent time at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance in London, England where she studied Graham and Release Technique. Driven by music and the accidental nature of art, Shayley’s inspiration is often the commitment to overcoming and creating in ways that challenge her idea of beauty. She believes that art is her highest calling and feels privileged to devote her life to movement. Shayley is currently dancing for SLOWBURN Dance Company, the Guild Dance Company, GoodGrl Co, as well as for many local festivals and collaborations in Seattle, WA. She will present her first choreographed work, In Three Parts, in April 2025.


Meredith Pellon (she/her) is a graduate of the BFA dance program at The University of the Arts, where she performed works by artists including Paul Matteson, Eiko Otake, Faustin Linyekula, and Jillian Peña. Her work has been featured in Pennsylvania Ballet II: En Avant and Koresh Artist Showcase in Pennsylvania, as well as in Ballet Inc.’s The Series, and Jennifer Muller/The Works HATCH Presenting Series in New York City. Since relocating to Seattle, Meredith has presented work at Performance Lab at On The Boards, Converge Dance Festival, Monomyth I (produced by Tuya Vale Artist Collective), Seattle International Dance Festival, and Drove VII (produced by Chlo & Co. Dance).

Anouk Otsea (she/her) is a movement artist currently residing in Seattle, WA. From her first "creative movement" class at Juneau Dance Unlimited at age three, she have been obsessed with the expressive nature of the human body. As a dancer and a certified GYROTONIC® instructor, she lives with an acute awareness of her body in relation to the physical world through which it moves. Having grown up skiing, hiking, and kayaking in Juneau, Alaska, she has always felt a deep and intimate connection to damp forests and glacial mountains. While developing her artistic voice, she has come to appreciate the inherent connection between the human body and its natural surroundings. This interconnected awareness of her body and the bodies which make up our earth has been a driving force in my creative research. Since graduating from the LINES BFA program she has directed and produced her own dance film solace as well as worked with notable choreographers across San Francisco, Chicago, Seattle, and Los Angeles.

Jordan Clark (they/them) bio coming soon

Madeleine Gregor (she/her) is a movement artist located in Seattle, WA and Artistic Director of Good GRL Co. Her dance works explore and distill unique emotions and life experiences to provide a communal theatrical experience. Blurring the lines between artist and audience, she creates space to unite  people through sensation and humanness. This exploration provides each individual an opportunity to become a part of what they see, transcending the role of an observer. Madeleine’s artistic process expands beyond dance both in research and performance; including writing and speaking poetry, assembling collages, and painting. Beginning the fall of 2021 Madeleine held the role of Artistic Director of Coriolis Dance until the Spring of 2024 when the organization made the decision to dissolve. In her time as Artistic Director Madeleine produced and choreographed two evening length works, The Art of Seafaring 2022 and Girl in Late August which had a sold out run at Yaw Theater in 2023. In addition, she spearheaded a collaboration with Stella Kuntz of Yaw Theater to create a new dance festival Wielding Forms Dance Festival which asked artists to create new works that incorporated chance elements determined by the audience. During her time Coriolis took part in community festival performances such as SpringShot at 18th and Union and Launch at ExitSpace; and was awarded residencies from Centrum at Fort Warden in Port Townsend, as well as The Being Mode at The Shed in Seattle.
