Megan is a dance artist whose work spans the fields of performance, teaching, and arts administration. Her work is informed by her background in modern dance, interdisciplinary collaboration, and trauma informed/healing centered practices. She is interested in the ways humans combine language, abstract models and sensory experiences to understand and interact with the world.
As an artist and dancemaker, Megan uses movement, written and spoken text, gentle instructions, and interactive objects to guide audiences through experiences meant to engage their curiosity. Art and science collaborations are one of her primary areas of research.
As a teacher, Megan builds spaces for children and youth to explore social emotional learning and to develop their own creative voices using dance as a medium.
As an administrator, Megan focuses on developing clear systems and building relationships to create institutions that value the humans that make them up.
Over the past 5 years, Megan has focused her practice on her collaboration with scientist Elizabeth Hicks and her arts administration work as a co director with Synapse Arts, overseeing their education programs.
