Kathryn Moller

As a creative person I have deeply explored the worlds of dance, choreography, directing, devising, performance art, puppetry, music, and painting. In all of these artistic, creative worlds, concept and composition surface and re-surface. I automatically use conceptual and compositional elements from all of these disciplines to guide and inform my work: spirit, space, breath, body, shape, flow, topography, violence, repetition, voice, energy, color, texture, line, resistance and memory all surface and resurface in my process as tools that blur the boundaries and open doors for exciting, ever changing creative possibilities. I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Theatre and Dance from Mary Washington University; a Master of Science degree in Dance from James Madison University; and a Doctor of Philosophy degree in Theatre/Devised Performance from the University of Colorado at Boulder. I have taught in multiple disciplines at various universities as well as professionally for 40 years. I am currently Professor Emerita at Fort Lewis College, Durango, CO. With numerous fellowships, residencies, and grants my work has taken me to develop specializations in S.E. Asian and Asian performance, puppetry, directing, performance art, devising and dance. Now I explore painting. I have created performance as well as taught throughout the United States, Italy and Indonesia.
