Hot Off the Press
Interview with Dance Enthusiast & PMF39 Artist Lara Kramer
Lara Kramer discusses the deep personal and cultural roots of her work “Gorgeous Tongue”, which she will perform at this year’s Performance Mix Festival as part of the Saturday Night Special.
“Thank you thank you and thank you to everyone who made this residency (Black Artist Space to Create) possible. These past two weeks have been a blessing! Not only have I been able to deepen my own personal/artistic practices, I was given the space to connect with people that I love! I was given space to reflect on love, and to prepare for what this next year (2021) will bring! Shout out to New Dance Alliance, Modern Accord Depot and Angie Pittman for the time, the space, and opportunity! I am forever grateful! It felt like a good meal, with dessert!”
