Kin of the Moon: What Better Than Call A Dance?
$5-$15 donation
Beth Fleenor, clarinet/vocals/electronics
Karin Stevens, choreographer/dance
Kin of the Moon's "What Better Than Call a Dance" show is inspired by the relationship of dance to music, and how music informs dance and dance informs music. We'll be collaborating with Beth Fleenor on clarinet, vocals, and electronics, and Karin Stevens on dance. The two will interweave a series of improvisations interspersed with four new takes on pre-existing dance music forms composed by Kaley Lane Eaton and Heather Bentley, performed by Kin of the Moon. A hybrid of through composed and improvised music, the retrospective/reworking includes dance music of the Renaissance, and new view on the waltz and the tango, and a sort of EDM thing... and electronics.
About Karin Stevens Dance
Karin Stevens Dance (KSD) believes that dance is a radical, vital art key to our future in this 21st Century. KSD's contemporary dance artworks strive for beauty through richly textured patterns that embody the complex, turbulent layers of our time, our cultural spaces, and our relationship to environments. We advocate for live, local, new music, partnering and collaborating with musicians and composers. We re/connect us to our bodily selves, to each other and to the greater ecologies of our collective dance. Our work embraces the mystery, suffering, wonder, and bewilderment in our interdependent existence through re/imagination, transformation, and healing for our collective well-being.
