Artists' bios:
Dance artist K.J. Holmes travels nationally and internationally teaching and performing at universities, festivals, and unexpected venues. She has performed/collaborated with Simone Forti, Lisa Nelson/Image Lab, Steve Paxton, Karen Nelson, filmmaker Matthew Barney, poet Julie Carr, musicians Jeremy Carlstedt, Juan Ignacio Ferreras, Roy Campbell Jr., choreographers Miguel Gutierrez, Xavier LeRoy, and Karinne Keithley Syers, in a recent dance video of music artist Mitski, among many others. She is currently creating Blu/print, an ensemble dance/music collaboration begun under the mentorship of musician/composer Henry Threadgill fall 2023 through a grant from NYS Choreographers Initiative. Holmes is an adjunct faculty at New York University/ETW and Movement Research. She has led Art as Experience events at MoMA, and assisted Simone Forti in reconstructing her Dance Constructions. Her teaching is not separate from her art-making; she brings her practices together in an alchemy of experiential life and living.
Julie Mayo has been making dances and performing for over 25 years. Her work has been called “associative, sometimes absurd” by The New Yorker (though she feels like it's anything but) and has been a Critic's Pick in The New York Times. She teaches through Movement Research, her own and others platform(s)s, and has been invited to mentor other artists' work. Most recently, she performed in the Deborah Hay Trio Commissioning Project. She is currently working on a trio that will premiere in 2025.
Wonderful Cringe has been called an “internet clown” and “technoromanticist” among other things. Maybe that means something to you. He hopes this means something to you.
