Friends,
It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of our fierce founder and dearest friend, Kathy Dunn Hamrick. Kathy has had an enormous impact, with ripples throughout Austin and beyond as she is loved by so many. In her final weeks she was receiving 30-40 texts a day and numerous visits from friends, family, students, colleagues, collaborators and neighbors whom she had made a lasting impression on.
We are heartbroken but committed to honoring Kathy and her legacy for years to come.
***Per Kathy and Dave’s request, in lieu of flowers, please make contributions in Kathy’s memory to KDH Dance Company.***
Lastly, for now, in typical Kathy form, she wrote a beautiful, deep and complete letter entitled “My Eulogy.” It will be read aloud at her Remembrance, but we also shared it in our latest newsletter. If you are not signed up for our newsletters, you can click the link in our bio and read it there. It was written for you.

Masterclass Recap Spotlight: Jordan Fuchs | Austin Dance Festival 2026
Jordan Fuchs @jfchs11 is a dance artist whose work explores the crafting of relationships between dancers, whether through spatial counterpoint or touch-based partnering. As Professor and Head of the Dance Division at Texas Woman’s University and founder of the Texas Dance Improvisation Festival, Jordan brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the dance community.
While working in duets, the dancers explored strategies for accompanying a partner through touch and proximity in order to expand their mobility, articulation, and responsiveness to their environment before shifting to explore such strategies in larger ensembles.

ADF 2026 Masterclass Recap!
Throwing it back to the good vibes of the Austin Dance Festival 2026 masterclass with Cami Holman @camicollabsllc. Hailing from Dallas, Texas, Cami is a dance educator and embodied researcher in cultivating identity, agency, and voice via storytelling through movement.
Class Title: Feel Good Moves
This class was all about groovy jams, finding your groove, and letting loose through improvisation.
Thank you to everyone who came out and brought their energy to the room!

A look back at an inspiring class of movement, objects, and creative exploration with Evelyn Tejada @evelyntejeda_ at Austin Dance Festival 2026. Hailing from Paterson, New Jersey, Evelyn performed her award-winning work, 0.4mm, where a simple shirt becomes second skin, a weight, and a partner, an analogy for the fragile layers that both confine and reveal the body.
This masterclass explored the relationship between the body and an object as a compositional tool in performance. Rather than using objects in a literal or decorative way, participants investigated how material could expand physical language and generate new choreographic possibilities. Through guided improvisations, sensory exploration, creative limitations, and structured composition tasks, dancers learned how to transform an object into an extension of the body or even allow the body to become the object.
