Gateway was dance work about the space of transition. After a residency and showing of Gateway at The New Museum in February 2015 I realized this piece is about the, or my own, acceptance of death. I got a call from my father in March that cancer was spread through his body and he thought he had about a month to live. He died on April 20, 2015.
The Sunland Dancers were formed by Jmy James Kidd in June 2013 to practice and perform in the pagan-alien dance tradition. Sunland Dancers at Getty were Kidd, Perin Hailey McNelis, Jil Stein, Lisa Wahlander and Alexa Weir.
