Deep in old-growth forest last week for our documentary Flight Path, along with the amazing @andrew__burton and @davesound ! Following an agile team of scientists studying the impact of wildfire and other events over time on Marbled Murrelet and Northern Spotted Owl habitat. Every set of tree rings tells a complex story! So fascinating to see this work unfold up close.

Big News!

Erin O’Reilly will be on maternity leave until
the fall! We are all very excited about this
new chapter, though Erin’s thoughtful and
warm presence in our offices, lobbies, studios,
and inboxes will be missed these next
few months.

Catherine Nueva España (she/her) is serving
as our Interim Managing Director while Erin
O’Reilly is on family leave. Catherine previously
worked here as Executive Director and is very
excited to be back working with the staff, board
and looking to seeing you all in the lobby and
studios!

Back in the studio ‼️ take a look inside the beginnings of a new work for KDC

KDC has begun our initial days of a commission by Catherine Nueva Espana - incorporating her writings and photography into movement 💫

👉🏼 Our process started by reading poems that she wrote during different Decades of her life (ages 15-40)
👉🏼 Each dancer read a different story/poem out loud
👉🏼 Exploration followed with movement ideas based on dadaism + dashiel Hammett, who came up in her travel-themed poetry

Nostalgia has emerged as a big topic, and together we explored how nostalgia is represented or recreated in music!

Stay tuned to see the creation & development of this work along the way 💫
