BOCA RATON, FL / ACCESSWIRE / November 9, 2020 / Karen Crew joined the Board of Directors of DanceNow! Miami over fifteen years ago. After meeting the artistic directors of the Miami-based, internationally-acclaimed modern dance company, Karen fell in love with their creative presentation of real-world issues through the medium of dance. Karen Crew is currently promoting the performance Contaminated, whichdepicts the journey of unwelcomed incarceration we have all endured as the Coronavirus shut our country and the world down, and the hope that we may wash this trauma away in time.
This site-specific video dance is a collaboration among three artists: Karen Crew's good friend Hannah Baumgarten, who conceived, directed and choreographed the piece; first-time musical collaborator Steffen Zeichner who composed and performed the original score; and Salterini who, as the video editor, transformed the choreography, videotaped at home by each of the four male dancers of Dance NOW!, into a cohesive video piece.
This piece was chosen as an official selection of the Rogue Dancer Film Festival.

The company creates, promotes, and produces contemporary dance of the highest caliber and through performance, arts education, community leadership, and innovative programming, nurtures new talents, fosters artistic collaborations, and makes the art of dance accessible to diverse audiences locally, nationally, and internationally.
