I really enjoyed this conversation with musician and dancer Kingsley Ibeneche about how visual art informs his practice. A highlight: he spoke about how careful he is in developing every move of a performance. What a gift to an audience to watch an artist who so thoughtfully attends to every moment:

“I’m no photographer, but I can create moments that are everlasting. Before I create performances, rather than watching videos or listening to music, I go to still images. This helps me dwindle down my huge ideas into moments. These moments become the piece, as if we were moving with the click of a camera. I try to visualize everything I do like that. I never want to waste a moment.”
