MOVEMENT / PURPOSE / JOY

Kerry is an artist with a strong commitment to bringing arts into all spaces and communities, particularly in underserved and invisible populations not traditionally served by arts organizations. She provides the vocabulary and the tools to utilize the transformative power of art to both individual clients and communities in residential facilities, schools, colleges, and institutions. Kerry is a core faculty member with New Haven Ballet, where she leads the Shared Abilities Program for dancers, both with and without disabilities, to work in partnership to create performances. She provides safe spaces to utilize the power of art in differently-abled communities, in schools, universities, hospitals, correctional facilities, with veterans with PTSD, and people with mind and body “dis-ease” (Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, Dementia, Traumatic Brain Injury). She believes all ages, races, ethnicities, and backgrounds can move together as a means to strengthen and grow awareness of the mind/body connection as a path to healing.
