NewBody

NewBody (2019) is an in-process hybrid dance and electronic music project exploring themes of trauma, healing, and community through skill sharing. NewBody was first conceived as a duet between Kait Ramsden and Sam Dzierzawa and is now expanding into a group performance with six performers.

NewBody is an exploration of contemporary dance, electronic music, sound bath, guided meditation and fake healing. It is about imagining a new world together through collective means. It is about pleasure and prayer. It celebrates the line between the novice and the professional. It is about feeling good. 

Upcoming performances for NewBody will be in 2023. Please reach out if you would like to support the creation of this work.
