Ke’ron J. Wilson (she/they) is a healing-centered transfemme movement artist, choreographer, model, actor, musician, and poet based out of New York City. Born in Lakeland Florida, Ke’ron began training at Harrison School for the Arts and Florida Dance Theater. After graduating with a BFA in dance from Sam Houston State University, her career began as a founding member of Social Movement Contemporary Dance Theater and as a recurring guest choreographer for the Pilot Dance Project in Houston, TX.
Ke’ron’s current creative research is deeply rooted in the spiritual possibilities that are born from art-making within queer community, aiming to decentralize singular perspectives and to expand understandings of queer/trans identity. In this process, she prioritizes care as the bridge to generative collaboration, and compassion as the key to rigorous self and social reflection. Ke’ron’s research has recently been supported by MNE’s Emerging Choreographer’s Series (2022-2024). In addition, she has also appeared on the Tamron Hall Show with Sonya Renee Taylor; on the New York Fashion Week runway as a model for Bad Binch Tong Tong’s SS24 collection; and continues to lead wellness/meditation portals, mostly in collaboration with the Angelito Collective, for the NYC Trans community when and where she can.
Ke’ron is now receiving support through Movement Research’s Van Lier Emerging Artist of Color Fellowship, which is supported by the New York Community Trust through the Edward and Sally Van Lier Fund.
