The latest
katie presented a brand new piece at the spark theater festival this march!
This piece is an exploration of the sexualization of women and how it effects us. Society has a history of using degrading words, pictures, and actions towards women because we are not looked upon as “equal.” Expressed through dance, five women express how these harmful actions effect them both emotionally and physically.
