Highways Performance Space and Gallery is located in the 18th Street Arts Center.
The five fearless dancers that are Kate Hutter, Arletta Anderson, Nick Heitzeberg, Stephanie Jamieson, and Williamson give combustible performances to illuminate the emotional discourse of their opposing internal desires of faith and flesh. An audience hungry for visceral storytelling, hard-hitting floor work, and candid gestures of the gut and psyche are invited to partake in an evening designed to smash. The music score is a mash up of electronic and acoustic greats that play on the complex discourse at hand. Fruit is both sweet and rotten; and is for mature audiences.
Williamson is a recognizable performer and artist on the LA Dance scene as company member in Maria Gillespie’s Oni Dance, founding member of LA Contemporary Dance Company (LACDC), and Stephan Koplowitz’s Taskforce Project. As a choreographer, Kevin offered audiences intimate and existential jaunts this past year in the highly acclaimed works pinky swear and Excavating Gray, both commissioned by LACDC. Now, he embarks on a new adventure as director of KDUB DANCE, a powerhouse performance company, whose goal is to implore questions about uncertainty, uniqueness, and hope through collaborative processes in the concert dance community in Los Angeles and beyond.
