Nominated for a 2021 BESSIE AWARD for Outstanding Visual Design in Costume Design… KOLONIAL is a filmed dance performance developed as a commission from Mikhail Baryshnikov. Baryshnikov Arts Center began this initiative aimed to encourage dance makers, musicians and other artists to continue working during the Covid 19 pandemic. KOLONIAL is the brainchild of Choreographer Stefanie Batten Bland. Kolonial interrogates suppressed identity though physical posturing and gesture in transparent COVID cages.
