KHALA BRANNIGAN

My work as an artist consists of stories related to human resilience. Growing up in New Mexico, I was stunned by the desert landscapes, big blue skies, and the gracious mountains. It’s as if the earth could speak a language louder than words, yet the culture that surrounded me was harrowing. Those contrasting worlds have inspired me to create movement that connects the earth’s death and rebirth cycles to the human experience. I create dystopian, ethereal worlds through dance performance, films, installations, writing, collaboration with other mediums, and teaching.
