Among Kinodance's creations are intermedia and expanded cinema stage performances, installations and films. Kinodance projects melt boundaries between dance, cinema, visual art, and sound, aspiring to develop a common language of interaction among art media. "Choreography of elements" is the term Kinodance invented to formally describe their art making process. In Kinodance performances, each element is a strong, fully developed score that compliments the others - sometimes soloing, sometimes partnering, sometimes driving a tight ensemble. The outcome is multi-sensory, immersive experiences that rejuvenate the eye and perception.
Kinodance Company, an artist collective, was founded in Boston in 1999 by choreographer/dancer Alissa Cardone, filmmaker Alla Kovgan and visual artist Dedalus Wainwright out of passion for kinetic arts, experimentation and a strong belief in the power of interdisciplinary collaborations. Since 2004, core members include choreographer/dancer Ingrid Schatz and lighting designer Kathy Couch.
“The layering of emotionally potent choreography, exotic imagery, sounds, and staging add up to a daring and dramatically theatrical experience”
Terry Byrne, The

“Choreographers Ingrid Schatz and Alissa Cardone place the dancers … onstage in various combinations, sometimes without the film, sometimes in the midst of the film action. The result is a breathtaking synthesis of live and filmed dance, with the dancers onstage complimenting and competing with the images of the dancers on the screen. “
