Charlotte Stickles is a New York based movement artist with an inquiry around how dance lives beyond its more traditional western performance and pedagogical settings.
She has worked in various capacities as a performer, educator, and movement specialist - as a creature performer, film actor, movement director, choreographer, and collaborator for numerous contemporary performance works. Charlotte has also presented her own work in galleries, public spaces, and on screens - and has spoken about her research in the field of dance and performance at the Women in Dance Leadership Conference, public radio, and at various sites and museums across the country. She graduated from The Ohio State University with a BFA in Dance and distinction in creative research, and has been performing and teaching movement to all ages and abilities for ten plus years. She is currently pursuing her Masters in Dance/Movement Therapy at Pratt Institute.
In communicating the ephemeral and researching the lived experience of a body, specifically through a lens of ecosomatics, ecology, and horticulture, Charlotte transfigures the boundaries of dance as a means to reimagine sustainable and integrated living in a shifting world.
