141: Learn How to Create a Values-Based Artist Collaborative with Kai Hazelwood, Founder of Good Trouble Makers

Written By Rhodes Perry

Kai Hazelwood is an award winning & nationally recognized choreographer. She is the founder of Good Trouble Makers – a genre expanding, practice-driven collaborative based in LA and making waves globally. Her collaborative is perpetually investigating what anti-racist and queer dance making, devising, teaching, and performing looks like. Inspired by the words of John Lewis, her group is committed to making: making art, making room, making change, and making good trouble. The collaborative celebrates the resiliency, creativity, and audacity of queer and Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) communities, offering an outlet for survival, and a pathway toward liberation for all.
