Power of Performing Arts
Johanna Kepler founded the interview series project Power of the Performing Arts: Uniting Artists While Apart on March 9th 2020. Her goal is to make a platform in which artists can continue to share their stories, create community through technology, and raise awareness on how the COVID-19 pandemic is affecting performing artists in the US and around the world. Currently over 300 artists are involved in this interview series. Johanna has interviewed performing artists, directors, choreographers and producers from on and off Broadway, regional theaters across the country, as well as major dance companies such as Martha Graham Dance Company, Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, New York City Ballet, Gibney Dance, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, Dance Theater of Harlem, freelance artists and more.
Guatemala Interview Project
The Guatemalan Interview Project is a living archive documenting the stories, identities, and lived experiences of Guatemalan adoptees, first-generation individuals, and members of the Guatemalan diaspora. With over 500 participants involved, the project centers personal narrative as a form of cultural preservation, exploring themes of identity, displacement, belonging, and reconnection. Rooted in Johanna Kepler’s broader research on embodiment and cultural memory, it amplifies underrepresented voices while building a growing archive that bridges personal history with collective experience.

Weaving Dreams & Woven Between Worlds
Weaving Dreams is an interdisciplinary performance that explores memory, identity, and ancestral connection through Johanna Kepler’s weaving methodology. Rooted in her experience as a transnational Guatemalan adoptee, the work weaves together movement, sound, and storytelling to navigate themes of displacement, belonging, and cultural hybridity, unfolding through distinct choreographic worlds that move between dream, conflict, and re-membering. Alongside the performance, Woven Between Worlds is a separate immersive gallery installation that extends this inquiry into a visual and spatial archive, featuring artworks, environmental design, and a collection of oral histories. Together, these projects create a multidimensional exploration of living between worlds, where personal narrative and collective memory intersect.
