    CARSON CITY – A multi-media dance performance inspired by the poetry of Reno’s Gailmarie Pahmeier will be held Saturday, April 27 at the Nevada Museum of Art in Reno.

    Gailmarie Pahmeier is a former poet laureate for the city of Reno and recipient of the Nevada Arts Council’s FY18 Fellowship Project Grant. Guy Clifton/TravelNevada

    The performance, titled “Dust Horizon: Dance, Film and Landscape” is presented by Collateral & Company Contemporary Dance Company and it explores the landscape of Nevada through choreography, photography and film.

    The event is from 2 to 4:30 p.m. at the Nevada Museum of Art, 160 W. Liberty St., Reno. Doors open at 1 p.m.

    Pahmeier, a teacher and former poet laureate for the City of Reno, is a recipient of the Nevada’s Arts Council’s prestigious FY18 Fellowship Project Grant and has spent the past year in residency at a variety of Nevada State Parks composing narratives about the people and environments she encountered in the often remote places.

    Performers from Collateral and Co., traveled to three state parks – Washoe Lake, Wild Horse Reservoir and Valley of Fire – to record and document movement in the landscapes, using Pahmeier’s words as their inspiration.

    In the Nevada Museum of Art event, Pahmeier’s poetry combined with Collateral & Co.’s live and recorded movement, will celebrate the vast and ever-changing beauty of Nevada’s landscape.

    Caitlin McCarty founded Collateral & Co. Contemporary Dance Company in May 2017 after returning home to Northern Nevada after working for New York-based Gallim Dance. The company explores the intricacies of the human experience and investigates the nuances of everyday life. The company recently welcomed Leslie Balzer, also a native Nevadan, as its assistant artistic director.
