About Moriah Evans

Moriah Evans, an artist and choreographer based in New York, creates innovative performances for a wide variety of contexts. Building on a series of projects staged in different cities, Evans continues to explore how performance can offer new ways of sensing our bodies and our relationships to one another. Throughout her work, Evans approaches choreography as an expansive social process, drawing on wide-ranging somatic practices and feminist critiques of dance and visual culture, while seeking the "knowledge our bodies hold." She aims to heighten perception beyond the visual, embracing embodied forms of awareness and felt sense.
