🕺 What an amazing day of dance! Through our partnership with the Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center, guest artist Derion Loman from the incredible PILOBOLUS Dance Company joined CATA’s Inclusive Dance workshop to share choreography with our artists and give an insightful look at Pilobolus’s creative process. 🎶 Derion guided CATA artists through methods of engaging dancers of all abilities—exploring our own movement creation while lifting up each person's artistic voice. At the end, the group shared a collection of dances they crafted together, featuring some amazing solos! Thank you Pilobolus and Derion for a marvelous day of movement— and to the Mahaiwe for your partnership!

🥁 We had a blast at our CATA Sharing at MASS MoCA! What a joy to gather together with CATA artists from our partners at BFAIR, UCP of Western Massachusetts, Guidewire, and Lenox High School to share the talents of our artists on stage. CATA artists Emilee, Sandra, Asa, and Eric helped lead interactive performances in drumming, dance, yoga, and music. A perfect cap to a stellar year of CATA workshops with our North County artists! ✨Many thanks to Mass MoCA for welcoming CATA and our artists—and inviting CATA artists as VIP guests to enjoy the exhibits!
