Kimberly Bartosik I hunger for you


Friday, October 18 at 8 pm $35 FLYNNSPACE


“Bartosik. . .wrests strange, raw, discomfiting dynamics from a deceptively


simple structure.” —New York Times


Choreographer Kimberly Bartosik creates provocative, ferociously intimate dance projects built upon the development of a virtuosic movement, rigorous conceptual explorations, and the creation of highly theatricalized environments. In I hunger for you, Bartosik draws on personal experience with charismatic spirituality, delving deep into losing one’s self in ecstasy. Bodies pulse with internalized forces of faith, suspended in light on a stark stage and riding the edge between barely controlled abandon and static angst. In 2019, Kimberly was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in choreography.

Kinetic Light DESCENT


Wednesday, October 30 at 7:30 pm $45/$35/$25


“This is groundbreaking work.”


—Jawole Willa Jo Zollar, Founder of Urban Bush Women


Dance Magazine’s “Most Moving Performance of 2018,” DESCENT features two dancers in wheelchairs navigating the surface of a six-foot tall ramp sprawling the stage in dramatic peaks and curves. Kinetic Light—working in the disciplines of art, design, architecture, and social justice—presents the story of Venus and Andromeda, reimagined as interracial lovers and brought together by the sculptor Rodin. A work transcending the senses, DESCENT celebrates the pleasure of reckless abandon, obliterating assumptions of beauty and ability.


Presented in association with the Office of the Vice President for Human Resources, Diversity, and Multicultural Affairs through the UVM President’s Initiative for Diversity.
