Amelia Heintzelman is a dancer, choreographer, and teacher.

​

Her work has been supported by residencies, commissions, and grants through Center for Performance Research, Draftwork at Danspace Project, Foundation for Contemporary Arts, Issue Project Room, Movement Research at the Judson Church, New York Foundation for the Arts, Pageant, and Snug Harbor, UCross Foundation, and University Settlement.

She is on teaching faculty at Movement Research and Pageant, and rarely/sometimes teaches Comedy Pilates. 

 

 

 

 I am interested in tension without drama, arousal and humility, and speculative physiology. My somatic teaching practice sits alongside my artistic work, informing my dancing and continued interest in interiority. Across my work, I create states of exposure, where movement destabilizes and the act of being seen leads to vulnerable catharsis.
