The Basin Art Mine, a former mining facility that was recently converted to a community arts space, welcomed jazz musician Caroline Davis and dance artist Michelle Boulé for an “immersive night of improvisation, saxophone, electronics, and dance”, to an audience of more than 50 area residents and visiting patrons.
Davis has toured extensively with prominent jazz groups and produced eight studio albums. Boulé has danced, taught, and choreographed in over 25 countries and had her work featured in The New York Times, The New Yorker, and on “The Today Show.”
“Since I left New York, I’ve focused a lot on my healing and coaching work, so that kind of took over a bit, the past few years,” said Boulé, who now lives in Missoula and operates her own wellness clinic. “But I really try to think of my life as my creative practice. So, no, I haven’t been practicing all the time, but I can’t deny that dance is a part of who I am.”
