This week we are joined by Katya Stepanov! Katya Stepanov is a Belarusian-Jewish-American artist, speaker, impact entrepreneur, DJ and holistic business coach devoted to creating and facilitating immersive experiences. Katya is a co-founder of Inheritance Project, a human impact company offering leadership and conflict resolution programs to build bridges and guide authentic culture change. She produces Resonance, a monthly micro-festival in Brooklyn weaving together breath-work, movement, dance, food and art. Katya is also a co-founder of Rebis, an immersive experience collective, and co-creator of Those Before Us, an audio- immersive dance experience which brings to life marginalized history in public spaces through interactive performance. She is the creator and writer of Inheritance, an immersive play and VR experience exploring Russian-Jewish immigrant identity and culture, for which she received the COJECO Blueprint Fellowship. When she's not facilitating or creating, Katya jumps behind the decks as DJ SPASIBA, spinning sonic alchemy for dancers everywhere.
