Kari (they/them) is a trans and queer mover and independent dance artist based in New York City. They are currently training to become an Alexander Technique Teacher at the Balance Arts Center and using this work to further explore spatial thinking, autonomy, habits and holding patterns, and mind-body connection. Their past work has explored connections between language and movement, culminating in a Lexicon of Movement that investigates how phrases of movement and language can be examined as discrete parts that all come together in a larger network of meaning. Their most recent works have looked at mundanity clashing with wildness, finding nuance between such polar opposites and where the body exists on both ends as well as in the middle. Kari’s work explores identity, queerness, transness, and the perception of the self and the body and its boundaries.
