anonymous bodies

Banner4_0.jpg

is an inter-disciplinary performance company whose movement installations have taken place in a car (CAR), a row home (HOUSE), 

a machine shop and church (the Mentalist), a nightclub and bar (Gone), for the concert stage (Living Rooms), and most recently for a store (STORE). Described as “… the 

most truly odd, honestly weird and wonderful-to-watch works this viewers ever seen,” by the Philadelphia City Paper, Kate’s work  highlights the beautiful and grotesque in our 

day-to-day spaces.. Kate Watson-Wallace/ anonymous bodies create site-based performances that re-imagine everyday spaces. The work choreographs spectator as well as 

performer, taking audiences on intimate, human- scale journeys through a row house, a parking lot, and a dance club. Audiences meet the human body up close. The company 

has performed at the Live Arts Festival (Philadelphia), DanceBoom at the Wilma Theater (Philadelphia), The John Ryan Theater (New York), The Joyce SoHo (New York), 

ODC Theater (San Francisco), Indiana University of Pennsylvania (PA), and Velocity Dance Center (Seattle).  All the company’s work is created in collaboration with the 

dancers and designers on-site.
