Sofie Rose Seymour is an educator and movement maker interested in the choreographies of community. They grew up in the Pennsylvania Academy of Ballet, and went on to study Forsythe, improvisation, gaga, and physical theater techniques. They have a Special Concentration in Social Change and the Arts from Harvard University, where they were awarded the Emerging Choreographer grant, and an M.Ed from the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Their choreography has included musicals, evening length works, films, and site specific installations, and has been seen in Boston, Berlin, Vermont, and off-Broadway. Favorite performances have included playing Chana/Ingenue in Paula Vogel’s “Indecent” (Players Club of Swarthmore); world premieres by Dwight Rhoden, Jill Johnson, Franchesca Harper, and Pontus Lidberg; as a soloist in new works by Mario Zambrano and Jeremy McQueen; and solo site specific works created with film, sculpture, and interactive texts. Other experiences/interests that inform their approach to making and writing about movement include: teaching high school Social Studies, protests & parades, living & growing food off-grid, learning Yiddish, trying to become a tree, etymology dictionaries, queering gendered choreographies, working in humanitarian aid, the repetition of printmaking, teaching intergenerational writing workshops, skinny dipping, and getting lost in archival & internet research rabbit holes. They are especially interested in applying a dance framework to social movement(s), and what we can learn when we approach the stuff of our everyday lives as choreographic objects and movement scores.
