KitchenSink Collective
An experiment in sustainable creativity.
From 2012-2016 Laura Neese co-directed KitchenSink Collective, a New York City based “experiment in sustainable creativity” with a core group of dance artists including Claire Baum, Joanna Futral, Katie Vason, and Caroline Martin Guzman.
In this radically collaborative venture the artists pooled skills and resources to rotate leadership in creation, development, and performance of original choreographic works.
KitchenSink Collective engaged actively in the New York City Dance ecosystem, consistently presenting at NYC venues including Dixon Place, Movement Research, Triskelion Arts, The Actors Fund Arts Center, The Secret Theatre, Green Space, DUMBO Dance Festival, COOLNY Dance Festival, Check Us Out Dance Festival, Bushwick Open Studios Festival, Salvatore La Russa Dance Theatre Festival, The House of Yes, Dance New Amsterdam and more.
