featuring Nora Stephens + MacKenzie LeTorré
music by Derek Nievergelt
Beginning in 2022 Kate began an ongoing collaboration with the performers MacKenzie LeTorré and Nora Stephens. Their multi-disciplinary collaboration for the Danforth Art Museum centered around the dining table as surrogate/placeholder for the body and the corporeal experience. In this project live performance, dance, video, stop-motion animation and soft sculpture interweave to provoke questions around invisibility, presence and ephemerality. Their boundary blurring collaboration with/in Kate’s studio, home and the museum space magnifies the weight of invisible labor on individuals and families while reminding us that through care we can help support and heal one another.
