Amelia Heintzelman is a dancer, choreographer, and teacher.

​

 

My work has been presented by Center for Performance Research, Draftwork at Danspace Project, 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, Little by Little, UCross Foundation, and University Settlement. I have worked as a collaborating performer for Julia Antinozzi, Phoebe Berglund, Juli Brandano, Jesi Cook, Ayano Elson, Deborah Hay, evan ray suzuki, and Alexa West. I am on teaching faculty at Movement Research and Pageant, and rarely/sometimes teach Comedy Pilates.

 

 

 

My choreographies are animated, nervy, turbulent, direct, and still, developing tension without drama, shapes that elongate, and asymmetrical rhythms. In my process, I use improvisation to feed my devotion to physicality and speculative approaches to physiology. My teaching practice sits alongside my artistic practice, and includes a degree in Kinesiology, with certifications in yoga and pilates. Teaching informs my dancing and continued interest in fables of interiority as a way to reconstitute the self.
