In Memory
Ode to Jess Curtis 1961-2024
Contraband
Kim collaborated with CONTRABAND directed by Sara Shelton Mann, from 1988 – 1997. www.sarasheltonmann.org
During those years some of those collaborators were Jess Curtis, Julie Kane, Jules Beckman, Norman Rutherford, Keith Hennessy, Elaine Buckholtz, David Bentley, Kathleen Hermesdorf, Peter Kadyk, Brenton Cheng, Lauren Elder, Brenda Marie Munnell, Albert Mathias, Shannon McGuire, Andrew Ross Kushin.
“Jess, you came to me in a dream. You were performing. You sat down next to me and said ‘It doesn’t feel quite the same.’
I cherish all the research, dancing, singing, drumming, and performing I had with you. It was a powerful time in the Bay Area and beyond as artists going against the grain and shaking mountains. It was an ecstatic journey that is still deep in my bones!'”
