Annie Kloppenberg, professor of performance, theater, and dance at Colby College and director of the Lyons Arts Lab, joins Dr. Lisa Belisle on Radio Maine to explore how movement, curiosity, and collaboration shape contemporary artistic expression. With roots in New England and a career spanning performance, teaching, and choreography, Kloppenberg reflects on her early influences in dance and the moment that transformed her understanding of what movement could communicate.

Now working at the intersection of dance, visual art, and music, she shares how her creative process embraces ambiguity, non-linear storytelling, and deep collaboration with performers and artists across disciplines. From inspiring new work through visual art to fostering student creativity through the Lyons Arts Lab, Kloppenberg reveals how curiosity continues to guide her work.

This conversation invites listeners to reconsider how we experience art—not just intellectually, but physically and emotionally.
