Meet the Company:

Jari S. is in her 4th season with DKDC. Her Dance background is primarily Jazz and Lyrical movement. Jari danced on cruise ships and abroad in Japan, and this experience in Asia influenced her shift into working with and making functional ceramic art. Making something from movement resonates. She believes the body is a vessel for movement but has little to show for all the effort we put into it. Therefore she sees holding something tangible which repeatedly nourishes as benevolence and this inspires her to make and create more!

Jari considers it a privilege to dance with the company and as one of the senior dancers in the company, she feels it is important to challenge herself and work with her changing range of motion. Demetrius Klein, Kristen Vencel, and the dancers are patient and encouraging, and Jari is humbled they make space for her and each other to participate in crafting these pieces for the company.

See Jari and the rest of the company in Clouds, this Saturday, April 12. AND see some of Jari's beautiful ceramics in the Pre-Show Art Experience where she will have pieces available for purchase.

Meet the Company:

Cynthia McCallister has been a visual artist for over 40 years, exhibiting mainly in New York City and Paris as well as in galleries from Rome to Cape Cod to Santa Fe, Buenos Aires, Palm Beach and more. Her degree is in Fine Arts from Harvard College after which she proudly apprenticed to portrait painter, Henry Malcolm Barnes. Her paintings quickly became about movement rather than the face and she painted chefs around the world seeing them as dancers in the choreography of the kitchen.
Eventually, she began to paint dancers themselves.

It was only in 2019 when her son was studying with Demetrius Klein, Kori Epps and Kristen Vencel, that she was invited to dance with the company and a year later became a member. Dancing has been a late in life and completely unexpected joy for her and she will forever be grateful to DKDC for this very special opportunity. Check out more of her work at https://cynthiamccallister.net

See the company dance in Clouds this Saturday, April 12, AND see Cynthia's art in our Pre-Show Art Experience starting at 6 pm before the performance! Her pieces will be available for sale, and she's donating all of the sales to DKDC!
