About Leanna Keith, flute
A freelance flutist, artist, improviser, and composer in the Seattle area, Leanna Keith (she/they) delights in creating sound experiences that make audiences laugh, cry, and say: "I didn't know the flute could do that!" Her performance artworks have focused on cultural connection and the breaking of audience/performer boundaries. Leanna is co-founder of the 501(c)(3) arts organization Kin of the Moon and is co-artistic director and flutist of the ensemble. They explore sonic rituals, promote cross-pollination of genres, and celebrate the creativity that multiplies itself through the collaboration of performers and composers. She is dedicated to playing music by composers who are still living, and advocates for the usage of music as social activism. Leanna is the professor of flute at Cornish College of the Arts.

About Katrina Wolfe, movement
Katrina Wolfe is a movement artist, teacher and choreographer. Having begun her creative work with visual arts, she now creates costumes, installations, and wearable sculptures from organic and recycled materials, which she incorporates into her performances. She studied butoh with Joan Laage and Atsushi Takenouchi. A multi-day workshop with Daisuke Yoshimoto and video documentation of butoh founder Tatsumi Hijikata’s work has also greatly inspired her personal style of movement. Another important aspect of Katrina’s work is dancing with the elements of nature in remote and site-specific locations. She also takes photographs, writes, and creates films from her performance work.
