KATHRYN ALTER AND DANCERS PRESENTED BY WOMEN IN MOTION

KATHRYN ALTER is a choreographer, dancer, teacher, and musician.  Her work endeavors to send and receive visceral messages, offering others a new way to see something they may already know and an opportunity to reimagine their humanity. Her choreography and performance have been seen around the world, most recently as part of the festival Soliloquios y Diálogos in Mexico City, La MaMa Moves in New York City, and the Kyoto Butoh Festival. Kathryn is a 2023/24 Women in Motion commissioned artist, a 2023/24 Eva Dean Dance AIR, and a 2024/25 Fulbright Scholar Grantee.   

WOMEN IN MOTION is a volunteer-run organization whose mission is to foster female choreographers through commissioning, producing and mentoring. Founded in 2000, WiM has produced a diverse group of over 92 dance artists, and the list of once-emerging, now-established choreographers goes on. In addition to their annual concert performance, WiM hosts quarterly performance salons presented in non-traditional performance spaces throughout the city, offering female artists the opportunity to show work-in-progress in a supportive, intimate setting, intended to create a dialogue between artists and audiences. Women in Motion is directed by Melissa Riker and Amber Sloan.
