Declaration of Independence is a solo performance by Kata Juhasz, a Hungarian dancer and choreographer, which is articulated in verbal speech and movements simultaneously in a short personal reckoning with some historical outlook on the possibilities of an authentic artist willing to preserve her independence in a politicized public life on the shifting borderline of the EU. Kata is a Budapest-based dancer, choreographer, teacher, and physician who has been performing, in residence, and providing workshops throughout Europe since 1996. She was in residence in Minneapolis in 2017. Her works have been supported by Summa Artium, the National Cultural Fund, and The Ministries of Human Capacity of Hungary.
Her performance will be accompanied by bassist, composer, producer, and educator Alexis Cuadrado, born in Barcelona and now in Brooklyn, NY. Alexis has released six albums as a band leader, composed for many venues, and is on the faculty of the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music.
Declaration of Independence will be preceded by Sleeping Giant, a new piano composition by Maura Bosch inspired by and performed over a video projection of photographs by Vance Gellert on lumbering and mining on northern Minnesota Native lands.
