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.
Olivia O’Hare has been presenting and performing theatre and dance in Austin for the past 30 years. She is a movement educator who combines her extensive knowledge of fitness, somatics, improvisational dance, and physical theatre to create a unique experience in each class she teaches. She believes that body awareness, movement, and an understanding of non-verbal communication are an essential part of the human experience and should be made accessible to all people.

Sowmya Nichols is a Texas-based musician, dancer, and performer, specializing in Indian and western classical systems, with a music degree from the University of Texas at Austin. Sowmya’s first singing lessons were held at home by her mother; today, she has a school of her own, teaching multi-genre music and dance lessons to students of all ages.
Plume Girl is Sowmya’s solo project, a nod to Indian classical music, her love for experimental pop, musique concrète, ambient folk, the list goes on. At its heart, Sowmya is asking human questions - of divinity, of death and love, often fractured by human thought. Her music becomes a meeting place for the whole, the holy, and the unnameable.
