Kellyn is a dance artist, contact improviser, and dance/movement therapist. She attended Nancy Stark Smith’s January workshop in 2020, and spent the pandemic figuring out ways to continue making contact in a contactless world. She has facilitated talk throughs and experimented with the Underscore in a variety of contexts - from her graduate research to the Chicago Contact Improvisation Jam, from parks/busy streets to the inside of her apartment, and in mysterious virtual lands. She is interested in the subtle and complex skills that make up a resilient, responsive, playful, and artistic contact improviser. She's curious about both the potential for CI to be inclusive across movement backgrounds and open to communities, as well as the skill that comes with years of practice.
