DancersKatie Petrunich
Katie Petrunich is proud to say that this is her third season with TDC. She recently performed for Maggie Koller in Standing Room Only, and you might have seen her in the windows of the MCA this past summer, as Katie performed site specific work with TDC for the 2011 Dance USA Conference. In addition to receiving a BA in Dance from Columbia College Chicago, she has also danced with the Minneapolis based company HIJACK and Chicago company Antibody Dance. Katie has had the pleasure to perform works by Jessica Post, Jeff Hancock, Stephanie Williams, Donnette Kuba Cannonie, and TDC’s own Olivia May. Katie thanks her family and friends for all of their love and support; she’d be lost without them.
Our MissionThe Dance COLEctive aspires to challenge assumptions about how dance is presented, through the use of cutting-edge choreography, innovative collaborations, and inspired creative site-specific-works.
