About the Artist:

Holding Space Dance Collective, under the direction of Maggie Lasher, was born from ChinaCat Dance.  As ChinaCat, the company performed in numerous festivals, including Luminaria- Arts Night in San Antonio, 12 Minutes Max, Barefoot Brigade Dance Festival, Brazos Contemporary Dance Festival, many Houston Fringe Festivals, and Big Range Austin. The Cats also presented Glow and Aquaria, two evening-length performances, and the full-length fire performances Firelight and Ignite (with Jim MacKenzie). Since transitioning to Holding Space the company has presented The Burning Times and has made several appearances in various events around Houston. Holding Space is known for their unique approach to contemporary dance and fire performance, and is continually evolving the marriage of dance, theater, and circus arts.
