Moriah Evans

Moriah Evans positions choreography as an expansive social process. Drawing on somatic choreographic practices and feminist critiques of dance and visual culture, her work expands dance beyond the visible, to explore different ways of sensing both ourselves and our relationships to one another. Evans develops movement from the unseen interior of the body, by activating the emotional, somatic, and sensory systems to question the default hierarchies between notions of flesh, body, self, and subject. Evans creates site-specific performances, theater-based productions, gallery and museum-based participatory installations, symposiums, theoretical texts, and curatorial projects. She was the editor of Movement Research Performance Journal (2010-2020).
