Rennie Harris

And I have to be very honest.

What triggered me the most is that I went to a performance by Rennie Harris, Pure Movement, in the Regentest Theater in The Hague.

And he was with a number of top dancers from America and Canada.

And that was great.

this? Yes, that drive was there.

Samuel, that actually comes from...

What I saw with Rennie Harris... and what I was able to experience...

the whole process with the Scarpino Ballet and with Connie...

Her work has been supported in the USA by the National Endowment for the Arts, New York Live Arts, Cultural Arts Funding Program in Texas, Vermont Arts Council, and Vermont Dance Alliance, among others.

She danced professionally with street dance theater pioneer Rennie Harris, Philly, and Afro Contemporary Company, Charles O. Anderson Dance Theater, Texas.

She holds an MFA in Dance and Social Justice from UT Austin 2020, a BFA in Dance from CU Boulder 2015, and recently attended Xuan Gong Fu Academy of Internal Martial Arts in Berlin, Germany.

She has taught at University of Vermont, University of Texas, Austin, and the University of Nebraska, Lincoln.

So it's really in their body, but then they open up to all possibilities, the openness of being in tune with the people in the space.

So there's that structure, but that openness happening simultaneously, because it's not just free, right? If it was just free, you would say nothing, right? Like you need you need the the form, actually.

And then my actually my former teacher, I was just listening to Rennie Harris, who was mentioned in my bio.

I was listening to an interview of him yesterday and he was talking about the difference between form and style and how style has breadth.
