PC: Gabriela Chavez

Maggie (she/they) is a Chicago-based dance artist who works collaboratively and thrives in multi-media performance spaces. She creates visually arresting worlds, who’s movement straddles the spectrum between bold, blurry, complex group dynamics with sensitive, detailed, individualized expression. 

She performs, teaches, and choreographs throughout Chicago and nationally. Her Chicago performance collaborations include work with Erin Kilmurry, The Seldoms, Amalia Wiatr Lewis, Fever Dream Dance Collective, Tina Diaz, Deandra Alaba, Braden Barnes, and Sarah Stern. She is an Adjunct instructor at Northwestern University, and a guest lecturer at University of Chicago, along with teaching a weekly open class at The Rooted Space.

Her individual movement practice involves a rich study of floor work, improvisation, Bartenieff somatic research, and Counter Technique. While overseas, she studied a wide breath of techniques and improvisation including instant composition, Flying Low, release-based techniques, Gaga, physical theater character work, and vocal improvisation, all of which now inform and inspire her current teaching and creations.
