Kaz K Sherman is a multidisciplinary dance artist whose work incorporates visual art, writing, and the manual trades. She choreographs and performs, builds sets and props, designs sound, and writes text. Her explorations in craft and visual art, including glassblowing, woodworking, upholstery, and sculpture, illuminate how the body extends to and through other materials, culminating in an interdependent world where objects elucidate bodies, choreography is language, and words become tools. Her projects have been presented nationally by Walker Art Center, PS 122, CAP UCLA, Fusebox Festival, TBA Festival, Chocolate Factory Theater, Red Eye Theater, Hair+Nails, and many others. Honors include four MacDowell Fellowships, an Alpert Award, a Hodder Fellowship, a ‘Bessie' Award, and multiple McKnight Fellowships. In addition to her own projects, she works for other artists as a designer, fabricator, stage technician, production manager, and dramaturg, signaling a lifelong commitment to helping other artists realize their work. She is based in Minneapolis by way of NYC.
