Amelia Heintzelman is a dance performer, choreographer, and somatic educator.
My work has been presented by Center for Performance Research, Lubov Gallery, Movement Research at the Judson Church, Pageant, and Snug Harbor. I have been an artist in residence at Atlantic Center for the Arts, Chashama ChaNorth, Chez Bushwick, and University Settlement. I have worked as a collaborating performer for Phoebe Berglund, Juli Brandano, Jesi Cook, Ayano Elson, and Alexa West. I am currently participating in Deborah Hay's Trio Commissioning Project. I am on teaching faculty at Movement Research and Pageant, and rarely/sometimes teach Comedy Pilates.
My choreography elicits dense landscapes that are abstract and animated, where shapes pass through but don’t necessarily arrive, where barrenness leaves space for imagination, limerence, and melancholy. I am interested in tension without drama, asymmetrical rhythms that build anticipation, speculative physiology, and an explicit exchange between the performers and audience, a symbiotic interplay where the act of seeing and being seen unfolds with meticulous intentionality.
