Dancing with Kianí Del Valle

In Season 3, I’m setting off to discover how music can connect us all around the world now and in the future. And who better than choreographer and dancer Kianí Del Valle to talk about how music and the body are connected.

A true global traveller, her stunningly physical work has appeared in videos for Floating Points, Dirty Projectors, Matthew Dear and Clark, and her troupe The KDV Dance Ensemble recently headlined at Berlin’s legendary music venue Funkhaus. 

She talks about how music and physicality played a role in her childhood in Puerto Rico, how creativity in groups can evolve through the crisis and the benefits we can reap from shaking it all up.

Also, you lucky people, Kianí has made a kaleidoscopic playlist of music that’s inspired her, listen here…
