Moriah Evans is an artist working in and on the form of dance—as an artifact, object and culture with its histories, protocols, default production mechanisms, modes of staging and viewing—and the capacity of the public to read dance. She approaches choreography as a social political project that means far more than arranging bodies and movement in space—it is an ideological pursuit capable of probing the intersections of embodiment, performance, and politics. Recent works: Remains Persist (Museum of Contemporary Art Los Angeles, 2023; Performance Space New York, NY, 2022); REPOSE (Beach Sessions, NY, 2021); Be My Muse (Pace Live, NY, 2021; Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington DC, 2018); Configure (The Kitchen, NY, 2018). I initiated The Bureau for the Future of Choreography in 2011—a collective investigating participatory performances. I was Editorial Director, Editor-in-Chief, Managing Editor, Movement Research Performance Journal (2010-2022) and Dance & Process Co-Curator (The Kitchen, 2016-2023). I’ve been an adjunct Instructor professor at Cooper Union and regularly teach dance and choreographic workshops internationally. I’ve been an artist-in-residence at Bogliasco Foundation, MacDowell, LMCC, Issue Project Room, and MoMA/PS1, among others. I am a Hodder Fellow (2023/2024), Guggenheim Fellow (2022), FCA Individual Artist Awardee (2017).
