Kevin Williamson is a dancer and choreographer who graduated from UCLA's Department of World Arts and Culture in 2004. Since then he has performed for the LA Opera, David Gordon, Julie Taymor, Angelin Preljocaj, Sebastian Prantl, Stephan Koplowitz, Kate Hutter, Fatima Robinson, Ryan Heffington and Maria Gillespie in Los Angeles, New York City, and Vienna. In 2007, the LA Times described Kevin as “a major artist.” In the Fall of that same year he co-directed “pinky swear” with LACDC artistic director Kate Hutter to much acclaim. Kevin had begun pursuing choreography while at UCLA – creating works for the Fringe Festival Scotland, Highways Festival of Student work, and Miami’s Winter Music Conference. In 2008, LACDC commissioned him to create his own long form work “excavating gray”. Kevin is the full time dance educator at Chadwick School in Palos Verdes. Williamson’s interest is in the fragility of structured improvisation in conjunction with idiosyncratic modern movement. Kevin premiered his company KDUB Dance at Highways performance space in October 2010 with the evening length work, Fruit, for which he received a Horton Award for Best Male Performance.
