Title: "Commitment Against Criticism: Preallies and Native Americans" with Kate Insolia
Description:
We will remember our goodness; explore coming home work; focus on breaking patterns of criticism in families, friends and communities; discuss what it means to back native leadership and existence.
About the Speaker:
Kate Insolia, is the Owner and Artistic Director of the Urbana Dance Company in Urbana, IL, USA. Insolia has been performing, creating, directing, and teaching dance for over three decades. Insolia is passionate, pragmatic, and systematic in her teaching approach. Centered in her teaching philosophy are students building and strengthening relationships, community, self-awareness, and confidence. Insolia founded the Urbana Dance Company performance group in 2012. Believing that artists can transcend conventional wisdom and create eloquent solutions, the Urbana Dance Company offers new productive and vibrant modes of being and seeks to understand the power of performance as a vital means for political action and social transformation. UDC’s choreography illuminates issues of oppression such as genocide, racism, classism, and sexism with the intent to end these oppressions. In search of humanity, the company uses both drama and humor to create a space where transformation can occur.
Much of Kate’s work is influenced by her Lakota heritage. In addition to her work at the dance studio she leads native raised white support groups and is committed to backing native leadership and assistance.
Insolia received her B.A. in Dance from Sarah Lawrence College and her M.F.A in Dance from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
