Lily Conforti is a dance artist from the Twin Cities. She graduated in May 2021 from the University of Minnesota with degrees in Dance and Physiology. She is interested in articulation of movement with music, and creating multimedia dance works. Lily is the founder and choreographer for Corpus Callosum Dance Project. She started the group in 2019 and it formerly performed under the name LCcreations until its name change in October 2022. The group creates mixed media art that combines dance and other artistic genres. A few of their highlighted works include: Botanical Dancing, a dance and visual art show presented at the 2019 MN Fringe Festival. Shuttle, a dance and textile project that was made in collaboration with textile artist, Alexandra Beaumont and presented in DanceBarn’s CollabArt show, and most recently, ‘Coming of Age’ by now… a dance and live music show created in collaboration with local punk/rock band, Oister Boy, for the MN and Indy Fringe Festivals. Lily aims to bring together artists of different backgrounds with the collective goal of blending mediums together. Through this she hopes to cultivate an art experience that is new and invigorating for the audience.
DESCRIPTION OF WORK:
By the skin of our sleeves begins to explore how our human senses shape and distort the lens through which we experience the world. We incorporate headlamps, jangling keys, and tactile stretchy sweaters to play in this idea.
