KSD & Kin

Karin Stevens Dance presents KSD & Kin, October 20th and 21st, 8pm, at NOD Theater. KSD & Kin is an evening of dances by Karin Stevens and two KSD company dancers, with commissioned music by Seattle composer Heather Bentley, and other regional and national music artists.

Among the pieces presented in KSD & Kin is Remember River 2023, a solo choreographed and performed by Karin Stevens, which will premiere in the October performances. The solo is an embodied empathic and spiritual response to a line from the poet Mary Oliver: “Who can imagine in what heaviness the rivers remember their original clarity.” The electro-acoustic music, by Jeff Grienke, from his album A Thousand Year Flood, is composed with one instrumentalist–cellist/violinist Heather Bentley.

Listen to Karin talk about the inspiration behind Remember River, and share why this work is important. Then, watch Karin’s improvisational process for developing the piece.
