Katie Jane Powell

"Among other things, I am inspired by color, by far-fetched metaphors, by the way we glorify childhood, by our relationships with inanimate objects and by the humor of human emotion.

Dr. Nyama McCarthy-Brown is an Assistant Professor of Community Engagement through Dance Pedagogy, at The Ohio State University. Nyama has been an active performer, choreographer, and educator for the past fifteen years.
