Schedule

JUNE 21 at 8pm

KAIROS Movement Collective & Alive & Well Productions

KAIROS Movement Collective is a Los Angeles grown dance collective, founded in September 2024. KMC is a group of movement creatives driven by the desire of community connection to facilitate growth and evolve as both dance artists and as human beings. Founded and directed by Kaley Logan (they/them), a queer, trans non-binary choreographer, artist, and instructor from Tampa, FL, currently based in Los Angeles, CA. As an artist, their work is driven by the intent of melding articulate sound and intentional movement alongside the simple authenticity of human experience and connection. KAIROS Movement Collective is fueled by this thought process and highly prioritizes the concept that every creative in our space is both a student and an educator.

Alive & Well Productions

Annie Kahane’s Alive & Well Productions creates theatrical worlds that possess odd but legible logic. The company’s works wonder about collective consciousness, dreamscapes and the potential for live art to create resonance across differences. Kahane founded Alive & Well Productions in 2014. Since then her performance works have been supported by the Hollywood Fringe Festival, the San Francisco International Arts Festival, New Music USA, the Zellerbach Family Foundation, ODC Theater and the Kenneth Rainin Foundation, among others. Her poetry has been featured on multiple NPR stations. She currently teaches at UCLA’s school of World Arts & Cultures/Dance, and in the Theatre Departments at Pepperdine University and CSU Northridge.

Composer Kian Ravaei (b. 1999) takes tone painting to a new level, synthesizing diverse inspirations into evocative musical portraits. Whether he is composing a string quartet inspired by wonders of the natural world, electronic music that evokes the pulsating energy of late-night dance clubs, or a symphonic poem that draws from the Iranian music of his ancestral heritage, he takes listeners on a spellbinding tour of humanity’s most deeply felt emotions.
