The GALLIM Moving Artist Residency is an NYC studio residency for early career Black, Indigenous, Asian, Pacific Islander, Hispanic, Latino/a/e, and people of the global majority movement artists who are women, non-binary, transgender, and gender nonconforming. The Moving Artist Residency is intended to provide a sanctuary of untethered exploration for historically underrepresented moving artists of all forms.

Through the program, directed by the multi-disciplinary artist Yara Travieso (CF ‘23 Resident Artist), artists are provided the time, space, mentorship and financial support to explore their creative ideas and invite them to identify what would most nurture their growth in creation, research, training, and development. These process-based residencies are open to, but not limited to, choreographers, dance filmmakers, educators, and performers.

In 2023, GALLIM created the additional Moving Artist Parent Residency to holistically support movement artists who are parents.

The 2023 Moving Artist Residencies are generously supported by:
New York Community Trust Van Lier Fellowships
The Mertz Gilmore Foundation

About the 2023 GALLIM Moving Artists

Maxi Hawkeye Canion (they/them) is an Improviser, Durational Performance/Movement Artist, and Director based in Brooklyn, NY. Originally from El Paso, TX, they are interested in crafting visually transporting work through collaborative solo productions. Community and collaboration are integral to their process and support world-building as they conjure dreamscapes materialized by sculptural garment designs, immersive sound planes, textural motions, and interactive installations.

Cara Hagan (she/they) (GALLIM Moving Artist Parent) is a mover, maker, writer, curator, champion of just communities, and a dreamer. She believes in the power of art to upend the laws of time and physics, a necessary occurrence in pursuit of liberation. In her work, no object or outcome is sacred; but the ritual to get there is. Hagan’s adventures take place as live performance, on screen, as installation, on the page, and in collaboration with others in a multitude of contexts. Hagan serves as Associate Professor and Program Director for the MFA in Contemporary Theatre Performance at The New School.

Kashia Kancey (she/her) is a Miami-born performer and choreographer, who earned her BFA degree in Dance from New World School of the Arts. She has been commissioned by Peter London Global Dance Company, and has had work presented in The Carnival Studio Theater at the Adrienne Arsht Center, Movement Research at Judson Church, Dixon Place and CreateART Performance. Kashia is currently working with David Dorfman Dance and is now based in Brooklyn, NY.

Marie Lloyd Paspe (she/her) is a Filipina-American dance and vocal performer, installation choreographer, movement director, educator, bruha culture bearer, and writer based in lenapehoking/Brooklyn, NY. Marie is a performer with the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Company since 2018, Bessie awarded for Outstanding Choreography for contributions to the BTJ/AZ production of "Deep Blue Sea," and is the 2022 Asian American Arts Alliance Jadin Wong Fellow.
