Kate Wallich

My guest is choreographer, director and educator, Kate Wallich (she/her). Kate was named one of Dance Magazines "25 to Watch", has created stunning commissions with companies like PNB, Whim W'Him, Jacobs Pillow, ICA Boston, just to name a few. In 2010 Kate founded an all-abilities, community focused class called Dance Church, which quickly grew into packed spaces of upwards over 500 attendees a week, and branched into various cities across the country and world. Since the quarantine, Dance Church has gone both virtual and now VIRAL, being the life-line to so many of us who have been struggling while practicing social distancing and staying at home, just needing to move our bodies, and feel our community again. I know I can speak for everyone in my circle when I say, Dance Church has been a light in the darkness during this pandemic and brought us all a collective way to move, smile, laugh and let go of the anxieties of the world, in the comforts of our own spaces, while still feeling connected to our community.
