Episode 4 - Kaitlin McCarthy
Episode 4: Listen to Maris and Kaitlin McCarthy, Editor of SeattleDances, talk about the importance of talking about art, distinguishing between work you’re good at and work you actually like doing, and the joy of feeling uncomfortable.
SeattleDances has a new and improved interactive Seattle-wide performance calendar!
Kaitlin McCarthy is a dance artist operating in Seattle, WA since 2010.
She grew up dancing in Ann Arbor, Michigan and continued dancing on the East coast, where she graduated summa cum laude from Mt Holyoke College. In Seattle she has danced with over a dozen local artists and has choreographed work for Velocity Dance Center, On the Boards, Evoke Productions, BOOST Dance Festival, SOIL Gallery, Washington Ensemble Theatre, and others.
Her dance work blends surreal imagery, elements of theater, and athletic dancing to construct abstract narratives and perform human relationships. Weaving kinesthetic empathy and cultural mythology, her art often addresses an underlying forbiddenness finding its way to the surface. Improvisation and experimentation are driving forces in her work, guided by intuition, intellectualism, and a midwestern work ethic.
Kaitlin is a member of the Seattle Contact Improvisation Lab, a teaching artist at Velocity Dance Center, and is the Editor for SeattleDances. As a freelance writer she has published over 100 articles for City Arts Magazine, Dance International Magazine, and SeattleDances.
She regularly dances with Alice Gosti and collaborates with Jenny Peterson, among others.
