Katie Stirman is a Miami Native whose dance career spans two decades. She predominately works collaboratively with artists, creating tailored experiences for each project. She is creating a series of immersive-meditative performances in nature using textiles. This project launched with video stills published in “100+ Degrees In The Shade: A Survey of South Florida Art” from the first rendition of this piece, shot in the Catskill Mountains of New York and a per- formance with Bas Fisher Invitational: Weird Miami Bus Tour 2016 that toured its audience into the Everglades. Gladly diving into the intimate recesses of beauty this planet holds on the horizon, she seeks to deliver simplistic wonder back to those whom may have forgotten it’s marvels. She joined RHDT in 2011.
