Join them to learn choreography performed by your favorite household names, just in time for a new party trick for 2022. KayandPatmoves is the choreographic collaboration of Kayla Castellon and Patricia Rose Suarez. After graduating from The University of the Arts in 2017, with BFAs in Dance, they developed their own method of making work. With Kayla’s background in community engagement, and Patricia’s background in music production and acting, the two nuggets create dexterous experiences for both the performer, and the viewer. Their work investigates the complexities of the human experience- aiming to expose the lightness in life without discrediting the weight. Kayla and Patricia feel strongly about empowering young people to take up space and unapologetically express themselves. The duo met when they were meek and metal mouthed, a bit unsure how to navigate adolescence. This evolution of growth is what inspires Kayla and Patricia to create with young artists. During the stages of growing up comes with malleability, processing, and inevitable influence. Their mission as artistic directors and educators is to encourage individual agency amongst every spirit in the room, no matter the age or experiences behind them. In their world, everyone has the agency to direct. KayandPatmoves has been presented by Triskelion Arts in Brooklyn, New York as part of SummerFest in 2019. Their most recent dance film “Teen” was screened at the Bandshell in North Miami Beach, hosted by Screendance Miami Festival. Kay and Pat have recently birthed a new baby born under the name Noise Complaint; a 50 minute sweat party that pulls from elements of dance cardio, H.I.I.T, and Pilates strength training. They are currently hosting Noise Complaint classes as part of their research and hope to bring the function to The Light Box in the near future. Founded in 1989, Miami Light Project is a not-for-profit cultural organization which presents live performances by innovative dance, music and theater artists from around the world; supports the development of new work by South Florida-based artists; and offers educational programs for students of every age.
