Carlisle

A DNA Commission

October 10 – 12

Carlisle is a place where women warp and swarm, goats trot on ancient mountain switchbacks, ghosts shimmer quietly and wolves tear away at fences. Limbs and ideas intermingle with our animal instincts, our sadness and our gladness. The inhabitants live in a both abstract and familiar world of impulses, camaraderie and antlers that make up all our everyday lives.

Katie Workum has been creating Dance Theater since 1999. Known for her hilarious physicality, Worum’s dance theater style engages audiences through vivid narration and evocative movement. Working in both long and short form, her work has been presented throughout New York and beyond at venues such as Dance Theater Workshop, PS 122, The Kitchen, Symphony Space, The Flea Theater, Joyce SOHO, HERE, the Painted Bride, and WAX to name a few. In the past she has collaborated a great deal with Will Rawls, Leigh Garrett and Terry Dean Bartlett with whom she co-curates DANCEOFF! at PS122 as well. Currently she is dancing for Ivy Baldwin Dance and will tour Young Jean Lee’s Church this winter. She has had the honor of dancing for and learning choreography from David Neumann, Stacy Dawson, GAle GAtes, Ken Nintzel, Sarah East Johnson, Kourtney Rutherford, and Elizabeth Streb. She is an MFA candidate for Dance Education at New York University. www.katieworkum.org
