CREATIVE WORK & PROJECTS
Meg Brooker is a dance maker and performer with a history of interdisciplinary collaborations.

Meg presents work in a range of contexts, from gardens and museum settings to fully produced concerts, and she frequently collaborates with musicians, visual artists, and dancers interested in crafting a dialogue between early modern principles and contemporary techniques. Meg's creative projects include solo performance, the Duncan Dance Project and Dancestry, and choreography for professional and pre-professional dancers.
