Part of the Teaching Artists Present collection.
Did you know that you can make dance about anything? Inspired by a work of art, discover how dance teaching artist Kylie Murray uses observational skills to create new movements and dance phrases. Through this exercise, you can go on to create original dances that reflect impressions of the world around you.
Kylie Murray is the co-artistic director of Local Motion Project, a nonprofit dance organization in Alexandria, VA, whose mission is to bring people together for meaningful experiences through the art of dance and movement. Kylie and her collaborator, Sara Lavan, have facilitated dance integration workshops for the Kennedy Center’s Changing Education Through the Arts program, the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History, and the National Dance Education Organization’s national conference. Kylie’s work brings people of all ages together in dynamic, collective movement experiences that effect personal growth and social change. She loves learning new things and using them as inspiration to create dance.
