Morgan Gregory, originally from Richmond, Virginia, is an interdisciplinary performer and choreographer focusing on Afro-diasporic storytelling. She is a graduate of the Ailey/Fordham BFA program and majored in Africana Studies and Dance with Magna Cum Laude honors. In her junior year, she was named the Denise Jefferson Memorial Scholar for her graduating class and a performance fellow with Sidra Bell. Morgan is currently collaborating with visual artist Julien Creuzet and choreographer Ana Pi on a continuing multi-disciplinary project exploring sound, shapes, and movements within the African diaspora. This work entitled, Algorithm Ocean True Blood Moves, premiered in New York City and has toured Amsterdam and Dakar. In her choreographic and performance work development, Morgan, as an American Black woman, is constantly exploring ancestral importance. In this continuous effort of understanding, Morgan finds herself creating in spaces of intersectionality: Academia, Womanhood, Desire, Blackness, Movement, and Spirituality. Recently, she was named a recipient of the LiftOff performance residency with New Dance Alliance and a fellow with The Performance Project.
