Meg Foley has been making dances and performing in Philadelphia since 2004. She is the director of Moving Parts, a company through which she aims to create elusive yet emotionally evocative performance experiences that straddle the fine line between focus and freedom and is a second year resident in the Susan Hess Choreographer’s Project. As a dancer, she works with Nichole Canuso Dance Company and Lisa Kraus, and danced with Devynn Emory from 2005-2009. Foley was educated and influenced by the good people at Scripps College and Laban Centre London. She loves to teach both technique and critical theory and has led workshops on whether authentic movement really exists and on locating meaning within and constructing self-referential movement. Some of her favorite dances that she has recently seen are Bird Song by Siobhan Davies, Rammed Earth by Tere O’Connor, Keely Garfield’s Limerance, and Jen Rosenblit’s greatest hits duets.
