Amelia Heintzelman is a dancer, choreographer, and teacher.

​

 

My work has been presented by Center for Performance Research, Draftwork at Danspace Project, Lubov Gallery, Movement Research at the Judson Church, Pageant, and Snug Harbor. I have been an artist in residence at Atlantic Center for the Arts, Chashama ChaNorth, Chez Bushwick, Little by Little, UCross Foundation, and University Settlement. Most recently, I've worked as a collaborating performer for Jesi Cook, Ayano Elson, Deborah Hay, evan ray suzuki, and Alexa West. I am on teaching faculty at Movement Research and Pageant, and rarely/sometimes teach Comedy Pilates.

 

 

 

My choreographies are turbulent, direct, and still, developing tension without drama and rhythms of anticipation. In my process, I use improvisation via language based scores to feed my devotion to physicality and speculative approaches to physiology. My teaching practice sits alongside my artistic practice, feeding my interest in fables of interiority as a way to reconstitute the self.
