The National Endowment for the Arts and the Poetry Foundation have partnered with U.S. state arts agencies to support Poetry Out Loud, a contest that encourages the nation’s youth to learn about great poetry through memorization and recitation. This program helps students master public speaking skills, build self-confidence, and learn about their literary heritage.  Please join the Holland Project to support these young students in the Poetry Out Loud State Semifinal Competition. 

Inspired by the poetry of Gailmarie Pahmeier, this multi-media dance performance presented by Collateral & Co. Contemporary Dance Company and the Nevada Museum of Art explores the landscape of Nevada through choreography, photography, and film.

Gailmarie Pahmeier is a recipient of Nevada Art Council’s esteemed Project Fellowship Grant and has spent the last year in residency at a variety of Nevada state parks composing narratives about her experience focusing on the people and environments she encounters in these often remote places. Inspired by Pahmeier’s writings, Collateral & Co. traveled to three Nevada State Parks: Washoe Lake State Park, Wild Horse Reservoir, and Valley of Fire, to record and document movement in the landscapes. In this special event, Pahmeier’s poetry combined with Collateral & Co. live and recorded movement will bring the vast and ever-changing beauty of Nevada’s landscape to the Nevada Museum of Art for two multi-sensory nights of poetry, film and dance.

Collateral & Co. Contemporary Dance Company was founded in May 2017 when Founder and Artistic Director, Caitlin McCarty, returned home to the Reno, Nevada area after working for New York-based Gallim Dance. Collateral & Co. explores the intricacies of the human experience and investigates the nuances of everyday life. The company recently welcomed, Leslie Balzer, also a native Nevadan, as their Assistant Artistic Director.

Doors open at 1 pm with cash bar.
