Sam Kim is an experimental choreographer, performer and teacher based in Brooklyn who has been making and performing in dances since the mid 1990s. Her work investigates and occupies the margins of dance while courting the danger inherent in rejecting dance’s legacies. Kim’s first Danspace Project commission, Valentine, was presented in 2002.
With Other Animal, Kim incorporates media elements into a dance for the first time––animation by celebrated filmmaker Stacey Steers. Steers is an experimental filmmaker known for her labor-intensive animations. Both artists share a fascination with that which cannot be named, invoking abstraction to capture ineffable experience
