Carolyn J Hall

Dance is a personal practice, a communal practice, and a practice of public connection.



I am not whole unless I am dancing. My dance career has taken me from a makeshift USO stage of oil drums and wood planks in my home state of California, to beaches and forests, and international theaters large and small.

I have worked with numerous choreographers and companies both nationally and internationally and received a New York Dance and Performance “Bessie” Award for performance in 2002.

My training spans a wide-ranging collection of modern/contemporary forms and techniques including Limón, release, improvisation, immersive dance theater, numerous somatic practices, and various influences from the inspirational teachers, choreographers, and collaborators I have worked with.

I love being challenged and have sustained relationships or sought new experiences that introduce me to new forms of expression in physical, emotional, and contextual ways. It has provided me with a rich community that continues to teach, support, and inspire. Long-term collaborations include:
