OVERTURE

SAWYER LATIMORE

they/them

Based out of Joshua Tree and Chicago, Sawyer’s photography and dance focuses on the exploration of brutality of body and ambiguity of time. They studied archaeology with an emphasis on gender and sexuality through the historical record, before falling ill and pausing their studies. Afterwards, they backpacked alone for a couple of years, where they determined what dance means to them in stillness away from health and home. Though trained in classical ballet growing up, their approach to movement now utilizes a modern repertoire. They plan to return to travel in a secured company role that treasures their multifaceted art practice.
