🙏🏻 @moving_body for having us! ・・・ 🔸 'The sculptures are made of the lining suitcases and slim wooden sticks, and direct our thoughts towards ideas of constant movement in the world, lack of roots, lack of stable ground under our feet. Their shape and colors have organic qualities and we find something similar in the colors and light in the film - they are brown, beige, gray, green, close to natural landscapes, but also deserted landscapes....' 🔸 Dancers: @reshmagajjar @legalizedance @raymondejiofor @derekschiesel 👀 Detailed discussion on BURDEN HALVED (which features @flea333 bass extrapolation) on @kittymcnamee’s and @laraschnitger’s individual and collective creative paths, and more - happening THIS SATURDAY at 6:30pm (UTC+3)! ❣ Join us on YouTube Live with comments on the chat - join our Fb event from our bio and expect the link in the following days! • разговорът ще включва превод на български •

ask kitty

Vol 1

Hi Michelle,

This is a big question…I appreciate you asking. For me ‘being happy’ is a functional state. Moving makes me “happy.” Collaboration makes me “happy.” Each of these activities (in current conditions) are deeply restricted. I miss being in a room filled with curious, creative movers AND I’m learning to find happiness in the small shifts of my creative compass. Expressing my impulse to tell stories visually keeps me balanced so i’m channeling that into documenting dance and dance makers. I worry that I have NO IDEA what I am doing - that somehow I will get it wrong - I’ve been there before and have learned that sometimes the leap of faith it takes to try something new makes me happy.

Stay well,

Kitty
