My approach to dance is fundamentally healing and transformational.
Kalila Kingsford Smith builds interactive dance environments that are responsive to the characteristics of the performance space and invites performers and audiences to investigate themselves as participants in the art-making process. Her current improvisational practice invites participants to access their inner “creature,” the parts of themselves that are pre-thinking, animalistic, and responsive. Learn more.
To dance is to be completely yourself.
Upcoming Events
Spiral Body Techniques® Winter Solstice Series w/ Kalila Kingsford Smith and Harlee Trautman
Friday, December 19; Saturday, December 20; Saturday, December 27; Sunday, December 28; Monday, December 29; Tuesday, December 30
All classes 4:15-5:45 pm.
Spiral Body Techniques® is a dance class that engages the body’s intrinsic system of fluidity, spirals, undulation and curve that allow dancers to navigate complex movement patterns with ease, safety, and joy. In this class we will emphasize the rotation of the ball-and-socket joints, flexion and extension, and the release and reeducation of habitually constricted abdominals in order to more easefully access the body’s spirals. All movements will emerge from the next in fluid spiralic pattern.
