Amy O was invited by Marc Bamuthi Joseph to have a weeklong residency at The Reach at The Kennedy Center as part of the Office Hours/Social Impact Residency Program. Amy brought LA based dancer Ardyn Flynt, and NYC based dancer, Satori Folkes-Stone, to evolve Amy's ongoing current choreographic work, A Trio. Along with dani tirrell, Amy co curated a version of The Hybrid Lab at The Reach for DMV based artists who are merging street dance forms within the contemporary performance context.
Invited artists were: Project ChaArma, Chitra Moves, Holly Bass, and Lauren DeVera/The Lion’s Den.
Each artists shared work and we had a circle conversation with a few Kennedy Center administrators, curators, and friends about presenting our work inside of predominantly white institutions.
