"This practice draws on the outdoor improvised movement exercises I’ve been working with for the past few years. I am grateful to the following places + folks in these places, that taught me: the Illinois prairie, a small fishing village in Central America, forest preserves in Michigan, a medieval town in the mountains of France."
Mauriah Donegan Kraker is a midwesterner, a collaborative performance maker, a walker, movement artist, teacher. She is an advocate for slow travel: walking around the block and through the city as a means of attending to choreographic unfolding of time cycles in the body + land. She has led folks on site walks through the Italian Alps, sound walks in southern France, and outings to highway underpasses and prairies in the Midwest- the walks culminating in participatory events and dance performance. Find her near the Milwaukee River, where she is serving as ARTservancy Artist in Residence of the Milwaukee River Greenway.
