Spacetime Dance
Spacetime Dance is the vehicle for Katie C. Sopoci Drake's choreographic vision and performance life. Performing since 2001 and creating since 2004, the drive behind Sopoci Drake's artistic inquiry is how simple stories or everyday life can turn into something fantastic. As reader and lover of nature, her choreography is often inspired by the literary or the seemingly mundane. Knitted together by an insistent creative curiosity and sumptuous somatic-based movement, Sopoci Drake's creations invite the audience to envision the intangible through movement and embrace the art that exists all around them. The title "Spacetime" reflects Sopoci Drake's years of developing theories within Laban Movement Analysis exploring motion of the human body as a 3 dimensional shadow of 4 dimensional movement.
