About Kim Henry
My body is my medium
Kim Henry is a professional contemporary dancer & performer fascinated with movement, nature and human beings. Her great interest in altered states of consciousness such as hypnosis, meditation and flow state inspires her to integrate those experiences into her artistic practice & creations. Versatile and curious, she invests her time and energy in projects which allow her to push her limits with rigor, sensitivity and playfulness. As a freelance artist, she took part in more than 70 dance and physical theater projects since 2011.
Since 2014, her creative collaboration with photographer and visual artist Eric Paré allows her to combine many of her passions within a singular artistic journey. Together, they play with the concepts of light, space & time in various ways. They are mostly known for the long-exposure art they create in magnificent landscapes and their multi-camera studio work. They travel the world to create, sharing their journey & teaching what they do best, building a community of thousands of people learning their technique along the way.
From a stage in a full-house theater to an empty desert, dancing is the language she likes the most. Movement is what connects her to the world and to her self.
“Mr. Auster, viewing the piece live for the first time that night, said he felt “overpowered” by Henry’s performance. “I’m very sensitive to dance,” he said. “Every time I see it done well, something in me cracks open, more than with any other arts.”
-The New York Times
“In the hands of her skillful dancers, Kim Henry, Isabelle Poirier, and James Viveiros, the invisible becomes visible and the humility and truthfulness of their pursuit become clear.”
“Poirier and Henry dance a light and gentle dance. The amplitude of their movement, as if pushed by the wind, and their kinetic flow, fills the space. Their bodily presence feels deliciously rendered from within; these women radiate unadorned fullness.”
-The Dance Current
“The astonishing Kim Henry Henry’s embodiment of Anna Blume’s desolate situation, as told through Grégoire’s relentless, athletically-abusive choreography, evokes the great Pina Bausch at the height of her glory in The Rite of Spring’s merciless, unflinching motion or Café Müller’s remorseless purgatorial repetition — only those pieces had a company of dancers.”
