Artist Statement
I aspire to celebrate vulnerability, discovery, and absurdity within an accumulating mood of endurance.
We let it all go - release, breaking, spilling, spraying- we give of ourselves, of our substance, to each other, and it feels very good. Charles Keil
I am here. I am here. I don’t know how to do things in a small way, only in a dervish like way, a holy way.
-Kimberly Vasileva, Choreographer
