Guest: Amy Kubat
In Episode 10, we get to learn more about Amy, her and Eileen's relationship, her personal artistic philosophy, how she honors the body and all of its intricately beautiful and important systems and her newfound love and acceptance surrounding just how unique her movement artistry is...what if it's ok to be "misunderstood"?
Amy (she / her) is currently working as the Artistic Director of TwoPoint4 Dance Theatre in Sacramento California. She has received her AA, BA, and MFA in Dance as well as certifications in Acrobatic Arts, Function Range Conditioning and is working toward her certification in Bodymind Dancing. Amy has followed her heart and instincts over her 20 year career into a vast and wide ranging assortment of dance techniques and jobs, including ballroom, dance science, ballet, modern, teacher, model, assistant, speaker, scholar, director, faculty, pole dancing, aerial work, commercial dance, somatic based movement practices, and so many others. The accumulation of knowledge in all of these different styles of dance has brought her to the conclusion that most dance techniques that would be considered very different are actually rooted in the same principles and foundations. It is Amy’s purpose to make all movements accessible and inclusive to anyone that wants the option.
