Profile:  

Kim Vetter is an artist, healer, teacher and student of life who uses her body and her voice to create work that serves as a vehicle for spiritual transformation. Her many collaborations have expanded her vision, her work and her life. They include, most recently, composer Charles Gran and the UCLA Bulgarian Women’s Choir under the direction of Tzvetanka Varimezova. Kim has also worked with William Forsythe, former director of Ballett Frankfurt, Marco Antonio Silva of Utopia Dance Theatre and Meredith Monk. Her study of African dance under Titos Sompa, Mabiba Baegne and the late Malonga Casquelourd allowed her many opportunities to perform including a chance to work with world-renowned drummer Mamady Keita. As a dancer who has sustained a fair amount of injuries, Kim uses her body as her “laboratory” and is perpetually discovering new ways of moving to facilitate the healing and strengthening of the body. She has earned a BFA from Rutgers University, a MA from SUNY Brockport and a MFA from UCLA. Kim’s work in Pilates, gyrokinesis, dance and reiki is always evolving and she utilizes all of her experiential knowledge in her performance work and in her teaching and healing practice.
