Kitty Clark is a modern dancer, choreographer, educator, and producer currently living in Shepherdstown, WV, in the state's Eastern Panhandle. For ten years, she has been spearheading performance projects that have aimed to make contemporary dance and performance accessible to a broader audience. She received a 2006 Governor's Arts Award as "Arts Innovator" in recognition of her efforts in West Virginia. She has choreographed and performed site-specific dances in city parks and college gardens; collaborated with dancers, musicians, and community participants on outside improvisational performances along riverbanks; and organized several presenting venues for herself and other artists which forge ties between artists of different areas while bringing a variety of performance to a non-urban area. Through her interest in site-specific performance, community-oriented projects, collaboration with other artists, and improvisation, Clark has continually sought new ways to create and present dance. She directs Goose Route Arts Collaborative, Inc. (GRAC), an organization whose mission is to collaborate with artists -- both urban and non-urban -- to create and present new performance pieces; to cultivate in audiences an appreciation of dance, music, and other art forms; and to provide communities with meaningful artistic experiences. GRAC, Inc. produces Clark's choreography as well as the annual Goose Route Dance Festival which brings contemporary dance artists to perform and teach every July in Shepherdstown.

Clark and her projects have been supported by the WV Commission on the Arts, the NJ Council for the Humanities, the District of Columbia Arts & Humanities Council, the Arts & Humanities Alliance of Jefferson County, the Mardi Gras Fund, the Puffin Foundation, the Shepherdstown Video Lottery Fund, the Shepherdstown Parks & Recreation Fund, and the Shelley A. Marshall Foundation. This funding has supported such projects as the creation of Fields and Fences: The Farm Dance, a multi-disciplinary piece that took place on a farm a piece and explored our agricultural past and future; Down by the Riverside, two site-specific performances with professional and amateur dancers on the banks of the Potomac River; a site-specific dance in a Hoboken, NJ, park; a series of outdoor improvisations in Jefferson County, WV; the Art Farm Performance Cafe; the Goose Route Dance Festival; and has generally supported the creation of new work. Her choreography has been seen at Dixon Place/University Setttlement (NYC), Context Studios (NYC), Marshall University (WV), West Virginia Wesleyan College (WV), Shenandoah University (VA), Smith College (MA), Dance Place (DC), Jack Guidone Theater (DC), Frederick Community College (MD), art6 Gallery (Richmond, VA), Baltimore Artscape, Shepherdstown's War Memorial Building (WV), the District of Columbia Arts Center, Fondo del Sol Art Gallery (DC), East Street Studio (MA), and the Austrian Embassy (DC). Clark has danced throughout the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic, performing with Sharon Mansur, Paula Kellinger, Jin-Wen Yu, Quiescence Dance/Performance Group, Carla Perlo, Lesa McLaughlin, and other choreographers, in addition to performing her own choreography.

Clark teaches dance to people of all ages in a variety of settings.
