MEGAN MCHUGH | @meganmchughdance
Megan McHugh is a free lance dance artist based in Brooklyn, New York. Megan got her BFA in modern dance and her BA in psychology from the University of Utah, where she graduated in 2022. Much of Megan's artistic interest stems from play through improvisation resulting in a product that blurs the lines between drama and subtlety in movement. She is inspired by writing, drawing, film and other medias that inform her creative process. Megan is interested in how the non-groundbreaking is inherently groundbreaking, and how whimsy invites us to see the world in a different context.

ELISA MEYER & JOSH LUNA | @elisam4201
Brooklyn-based contemporary dancers Josh and Elisa forged their artistic partnership through an unlikely connection: a contact improvisation class where they shared a mutual aversion to touching strangers. This shared discomfort sparked a lasting friendship and collaborative journey. Their choreography draws inspiration from their unique bond, playfully exploring themes of friendship, childlike wonder, and the subversion of traditional gender roles.
