angela/katherine/caroline dance trio
Improvised dance performance by three artists exploring the traditions of contact improvisation, contemplative dance, and authentic movement.
Angela Kaylor has been dancing and performing in Austin for over 15 years, with a focus on contemporary aerial, improvisation, post modern and site specific work. She’s performed with site specific aerial dance company Blue Lapis Light and has been featured in various performance projects with several local choreographers. In recent years her movement research has been primarily focused on experimental dance forms of improvisation, CI and ensemble work. She’s been especially influenced by working with Deborah Hay and Nina Martin/Lower Left Collective.
Katherine Lain lives wide between Austin and Greece, dancing to flirt with the unknown and trust what emerges from the collective. She has studied contact improvisation with devotion for five years, and learns just as much from sitting quietly in wild places.
Caroline Caswell utilizes modes of post-modern and modern dance technique, performance art, somatics, and plant relations to enhance presence and connection. She has been dancing since the age of seven and has tried to abandon all traditional forms of dance but the body remembers. Now she engages with dancing & responding to the universe as a daily practice.
