Belated Kinesis

Hey y’all! Wish I could be here this weekend, but my big sis is graduating! I hope you all enjoyed the awesome Noche Hispana Seis and the equally fantabulous Artwurst this past month. Here’s a delayed interview tidbit from Sarah LaRose Holland, curator of our ever-popular Kinetic Kitchen series: 1. How has Kinetic Kitchen as [...]

Kinetic Kitchen Interview with Karis Sloss

Karis Sloss 1. What is it that you love most about the artistic work you do, and why? I have wanted to choreograph since I was very young. My inspiration has always come from music. When I hear a great piece of music I am just flooded with movement ideas. I feel my work lives [...]
