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.
