ISABEL UMALI Dance artist Isabel Umali was a resident with Deborah Slater Dance Theater in early 2022. Her resulting piece Shift/Loss explores the internal journey of change and discovery through the lens of myth, archetype and image as a way to access the subconscious. Danced by Umali with music by Dustin Carlson, we dive into one woman’s internal world as she integrates her disparate parts. Isabel has also been teaching “The Hotspot” classes at ODC for professional dancers, and “Sensorial Dancing” for all levels at Shawl-Anderson. Learn about Isabel’s practice.
Kinetic Light Founded by Alice Sheppard, Kinetic Light is a disability arts ensemble, working at the intersections of disability, dance, design, identity, and technology. They promote intersectional disability as a creative force and access as an aesthetic critical to creating transformative art and advancing the disability arts movement.
