“It’s about honoring people as individuals”
Collective Moments Dance Company was established on January 16th, 2021 by Kaylee Mahan. Kaylee has created this company to share her passion for choreography and movement with other artists whilst using our platform to advocate for mental health awareness. We look to be a company where artists feel comfortable moving and expressing themselves as individuals, collectively. .
Artist Statement
“What interests me in choreographing, dancing, movement, etc, is the magic that takes place from shared space. There is something that happens that you can't create on your own. Lifer after all is a collection of moments in time, shared.
​
It is important to me as a choreographer to acknowledge dancers as individual people, in regards to movement, training, creating, and sharing. Creating work for me is not about who can look like me doing my moves. We are all different, different bodies, minds, experiences. We must try and honor ourselves and each other as our individuals; then collect moments that follow.
As an artist and director, I strive to acknowledge the importance of conversation and advocacy for mental health in and outside of the movement.
So let's get to moving and grooving.
