Karin Stevens Dance believes that dance is a radical, vital art key to our future in this 21st century. Our 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, bewilderment, and Love in our interdependent existence through re/imagination, transformation, and healing for our collective well-being.
