kt williams

kt williams is a contemporary movement artist, educator, and dance maker based in Chicago, IL. kt’s pedagogical and creative processes are somatically-informed and rooted in post-modern and contemporary release techniques. She is curious about how history, space, and emotion influence the body, and her embodied practice explores the intersection of self, boundaries, and relationship to one’s environment. kt’s work dynamically blends concert dance, experimentation, and interdisciplinary performance, and she is fascinated by social practice and its ability to create immersive dance spaces that cultivate collective transformation. Her pedagogical and artistic practices are equally collaborative, as she genuinely believes working in community fosters the wellbeing and sustainability of the artist-citizen. kt received her MFA in Dance/Choreography from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and her BFA in Dance from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where she received the Donald Carducci Memorial Scholarship Award for overall excellence in dance performance.
