Stephanie Slate, an artist known for her innovative revival of historic-artistic techniques, will showcase her artwork at the 365 Foundation Gallery at 305 W. Main Street in Lansdale from May 3rd to May 24th.

Her work is a testament to the idea that innovation need not discard history; it can draw upon and rejuvenate it, creating something entirely new yet familiar. Slate’s approach challenges the art community to reconsider its perceptions of tradition and progress, suggesting that these concepts are not mutually exclusive but can be beautifully intertwined.

As her influence permeates galleries, studios, and academies worldwide, Stephanie Slate’s legacy is cemented as a revolutionary synthesis. She has gifted the art world with a fresh lens through which to view our cultural heritage—a lens that magnifies our respect for historical art forms and our excitement for future possibilities. Through her work, Slate ensures that history’s artistic achievements are remembered and actively reimagined in the continuous evolution of art.

“The Body Keeps the Score: Dancing with Trauma and Recovery” is a choreographer/composer collaboration that first premiered in 2018. Sarah Carlson, the Artistic Director of DanceLink, collaborates with composer Vernon J. Mobley to explore the universal spectrum of trauma in a program inspired by Bessel van der Kolk’s well-known text. DanceLink will present a 25-minute excerpt of this work in the 365 Foundation gallery on Friday, May 10th at 7pm.

The Body Keeps the Score uses movement, music, and text to unpack the idea that trauma must be addressed on an individual body level before greater communal (or “big body”) change can follow. The creative process invited cast members to draw from personal experience to fuel movement invention. In his text, Van Der Kolk explains that Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can fragment a holistic sense of self connected to the here and now. Everyday sensory input can trigger flashbacks or emotional outbursts that disturb normal functioning and healthy relationships. As such, disassociation can be born out of simple survival techniques. Reclaiming an awareness of the breath and physical sensations can be powerful forms of healing. These dynamics will be explored onstage.

A post-show discussion will follow the gallery performance to discuss the major themes of the show and promote awareness of community resources.
