Independent Dancer, Projected

Dancing is my refuge, my church - and it has been for several years now. Never choreographed, always in-the-moment experimenting. Most of it happens in my living room - and when i’m dancing in public, likely you’ll find me with eyes closed; it’s a very internal art-making for me.

Today, though, is the first time i am sharing it in the virtual world. Shadow/silhouette has been an artistic theme for awhile now, and finally i’m in action to incorporate that theme into my own movement practice. It’s been a vision/desire for longer than i’m willing to admit… i’ve been super resistant to the required tech setup, to learning video editing software, to reconfiguring my living space, all that. Until now! …Pandemic quarantine silver linings…

Here are some improv moments of movement to a new favorite song, “Independent Dancer” by Kalabrese. Welcome to a glimpse of a typical Kate Date. :)
