Karin received 2017 GAP Award funding for Failing Water (working title)  an evening length dance with a moving sculptural installation by Roger Feldman. The choreography incorporates the installation moved by the dancers in various configurations that embody the complex layers of our relationship with water. The work will open with a whole structure, breaking apart into multiple configurations symbolizing the global concerns she will address, and finish with a whole new configuration. The audience will be encouraged to move through the installation after the performance.
