KINesphere- a Site-Inspired Dance Performance

KINesphere- a Site-Inspired Dance Performance

I am excited to announce 3 performances of KINesphere- a Site-Inspired Dance Performance!

I have been working on this idea through research, movement, grant writing, and rehearsals, since June. You can see all of the R&D and creative process over at the KINesphereDance blog.

Now it is time for the finished product!

The title of KINesphere emphasizes our “personal space” or “bubble”, something we are all very aware of with COVID-19 social distancing measures, as well as the idea of relating as kin, rather than simply “other”.

This idea of kinship comes from my readings of Robin Wall-Kimmerer & Donna J. Haraway. Both of these scientists/writers/teachers/activists encourage us to encounter the natural world as kinfolk, rather than species removed from ourselves.

After all, we do all share the same kinesphere of the Earth. 

Join me and 3 dancers: Joanna Asch, Yasmin Llevada, and Ricky Morisseau at West Lake Park/the Anne Kolb Nature Center for one of three performances on Thursday, December 30.

12pm, 2pm, and 4pm.

You can RSVP on Eventbrite. While the park and the event are free, we are asking for RSVPs to ensure you can see the performance. Additionally, while on Eventbrite, you have the option of making a donation. Proceeds will be split between the dancers and the Love the Everglades Movement. We are excited to support this Indigenous-led work to preserve our South Florida ecosystem and kinfolks.
