Insights is an interview show featuring members of the ARC community. This week (4.16.2020) our guest is KJ Dahlaw, an ARC member and a queer dance artist.
They make work under the name of Unruly Body Tanztheater. KJ is also a working parent and dance teacher in the East SF Bay. Speaking about their work, KJ says the following:
As a dance artist, I am interested in the Body: my own body, the ‘other’ body, the corporeal body, the bioregional body, the transgressive body, the queer body. The body pulses with the stories of our ancestors, the imprinting of culture, and the instincts of our creaturely ways. I approach movement as a presence practice with the body, oriented towards ease, athleticism, and pleasure. I believe in sweating stories into pools of questions on the floor of wonder and playing with possibility.
