In episode two of The Unusual Creatures, you get to meet the incredible contemporary dancer, Kathryn Florez.
Katie trained at the SF Conservatory of Dance beginning in 2010 under Summer Lee Rhatigan. Florez founded Fullstop Dance in 2015 and has since presented work at ODC Theater, Palace of Fine Arts, Cowell Theater, and others. Her choreography has been commissioned by The Merde Project (SF), TWObigsteps (Vancouver), as well as SALT Danceís LINK program (SLC), and is currently participating in a residency at SAFEhouse Arts. Fullstop is a repertory company that has commissioned work from international artists, in addition to performing Florez's work, and regularly hosts out-of-town artists for open workshops for the Bay Area dance community. Over the years, Florez has also worked professionally with David Herrera Performance Company, Amy Seiwert, Robert Moses, Lindsey Renee Derry, ZiRu Dance, and others.
Katie is an absolute hoot, and a total wealth of knowledge when it comes to the world of dance. She shares insights into why she chose this “non-competitive team sport” and why she never busts out her best moves at weddings. Listen now and be inspired by this incredible physical artist and learn about how the entire industry could be undergoing a seismic shift.
