Teacher Bio:
Rachael has been making and performing dance for over two decades. Before joining the dance faculty at The University of Washington, she spent much of the last 20 years in San Francisco and Berlin. Her work as been presented in Germany, Poland, Portugal, Cyprus, Indonesia, and Ireland, and throughout the US. In addition to her own work, Rachael was a member of The Joe Goode Performance Group and Jo Kreiter's Flyaway Productions in San Francisco and wee dance company in Berlin. She has had the pleasure of working with many celebrated dance-makers including Bebe Miller, Sara Shelton Mann, Jess Curtis, Kathleen Hermesdorf, Nancy Stark Smith, and with her long-time collaborator, Leslie Seiters. She is in her 20th year as a performer and Associate Director with Bandaloop. Rachael currently delicates much of her free time to practicing/performing with a seasoned group of improvisors under the name AVID, and hanging with her three year old, Henry. All of her making, performing, and living are informed by a long relationship with Contact Improvisation.
KATHERINE COOK (Seattle, WA) is a dancer, teacher, and mathematician. Katherine teaches CI in Seattle and around the US and internationally, she is the director of the Seattle CoLaboratory of the Institute for Study of Somatic Communication developed by Nita Little, she runs the monthly Underscore in Seattle, and curates or produces several CI festivals. Her teaching, research and performance collaborators include Nancy Stark Smith, Nita Little, Karen Nelson, and Kris Wheeler, among others. Katherine is most drawn to intersections between disparate fields, and explores how we make sense of the world somatically and conceptually. Her CI teaching is an embrace of both raw physicality and rigor in the form, and how the alchemy of combining these lead to the riches and freedoms of the unknown. When not dancing, Katherine is advocating for change in the current practices of math education or embarking on long adventures in the wilderness. She lives with a beloved old goat named Myshkin who likes to receive weight but not to give it.
