CKDC partners with local nonprofit, [Un]tethered Planet, to recycle dance material!

[Un]Tethered Planet (UTP) is a local nonprofit that aims to keep textiles out of landfills by repurposing, up cycling, and reselling clothing. CKDC is proud to partner with UTP to connect those with a need in the St. Louis community and to be a resource for up-cycling textiles that can’t be resold or recycled. CKDC’s Costume Swap program to help lower income families and their generosity to offer their staff and artists as resources helps further the mission of UTP.

Visit [Un]Tethered Planet at https://www.utplanet.org to learn more about UTP and about CKDC’s partnership.

11 years of Consuming Kinetics Dance Company

St. Louis-based Consuming Kinetics Dance Company will begin its 11th year May 1, so we checked in with Arica Brown, Founder/Artistic and Executive Director, to talk about the ups and downs the past decade and a year have brought for her and the resident organization.

Like many of the Kranzberg Arts Foundation performing arts residents, CKDC has been virtually active since COVID-19. The dance company has pivoted their educational programs to Patreon, a platform in which users can pay for digital content at various price tiers. Check out CKDC classes on Patreon here.
