October’s global theme: Soft

Columbus speaker: Russell Lepley

Russell Lepley is a queer interdisciplinary dance artist and community builder. He spent a decade dancing in professional ballet and contemporary companies before co-founding Flux Flow Dance Center, a body-positive and joy-centered movement space for adults of all levels, with his partner Fili Pelacchi in 2017. He creates work with an intergenerational community of performers with varied, rich identities. He facilitates collaborations that honor each participant’s individuality as themes are explored collectively. He considers his work most valuable when it has an impact on his collaborators that extends beyond the act of making: he wants performers to feel they’ve gotten to know themselves better in the process and created connections that are enduring networks of support after the experience is over. So, the more art the community makes, the stronger it becomes as a coalition of people creating the world they want to live in.
