Seattle International Dance Festival

James Ray Residency Program B

Karin Stevens Dance - Seattle, WA
Karin Stevens Dance presents two works. Created in 2019/2020, and featuring improvisational music by Kin of the Moon, A Small Space of Wildness was choreographed from Steven’s improvisational practice with her backyard landscape in winter and summer. The work is an extension of Steven’s ongoing interest in the human body and the greater ecology. Premiering on the SIDF 2023 stage, Parts of the Whole, with original music by Kin of the Moon, explores the parts within us that make the whole of ourselves and our relationships; the emotions under the surface, the many internal parts that we are.

Degenerate Art Ensemble - Seattle, WA
Degenerate art ensemble presents, Anima Mundi – Amnesia, exploring the amnesia that we face in our connection to the natural world, inspired by the ways that human beings have cultivated positive connections to nature through ceremony and ritual. It channels these practices through an embodied movement sensibility celebrating the decolonized body and using live voice, sound and video projection in a richly visual experience.

inkBoat - San Francisco/Luzern
Clouds from a Crumbling Giant revolves in the cycles governing a day, year, a lifetime. The human being returns to source. Begin again. The project combines the Daoist sage Lieh-Tzu’s observations on a “Guide to Practical Living” with theatrical performance devising traditions rooted in the Japanese avant-garde.
