Our Beliefs
- Dance is a radical and vital art.
- The movements we make matter.
- Movement:
- is at the essence of all life;
- connects us to the mystery, wonder, beauty, and joy in our complex existence;
- provides humor, healing, and play that is vital to our well-being;
- gives us a connection to ourselves, and a connectedness toward others;
- is a returning of the mind to the body and a respite from a tethered life to our ever increasing disembodied technological world.
- The power of transformation through movement can be experienced both in the practice, performance, and viewing of dance.
- We are all dancers.
- Karin Stevens Dance is more than a dance company; this is a way of life.
“We sacrificed our land to make the City of Seattle a beautiful reality. We are still waiting for our justice.” - Cecile Hansen, Chairwoman of Duwamish Tribe
KSD would like to acknowledge that we dance on the traditional land of the first people of Seattle, the Duwamish People past and present, and honor with gratitude the land itself and the Duwamish Tribe. We endorse REAL RENT DUWAMISH.
