Olive Kick is an interdisciplinary movement artist from the Berkshires, Massachusetts. Currently in her final semester at NYU Gallatin, Olive studies the imperial imposition of hierarchies of beings and bodies, and researches somatics as decolonial praxis. They have spent three years as a leader of and choreographer for the Gallatin Dancers/Choreographers Alliance. Olive explores movement as a method of connection between bodies and resistance against cartesian dualism and disembodiment. In each facet of Olive’s creative, academic, and professional life, she explores how movement can foster radical empathy and care.
