Artist
Morgan Kulas is a dance maker whose work explores the poetry, potential, and phenomena of embodiment. Her creative and practice-led research contributes to the web of inquiry taking place at the intersection of dance, ecology, and performance studies, ensuing in contemplative choreographies that perform embodied acts of resilience and repair. Her choreography draws upon the aesthetic languages of ballet & contemporary dance, myth, and site-responsive performance, creating works for stage and film that investigate healing, belonging, and relationship to place. Morgan earned a BFA in Acting and Dance Performance from Chicago College of Performing Arts and an MFA in Interdisciplinary Art & Regenerative Culture from the University of New Mexico.
Educator
Morgan’s teaching practice reflects an ongoing investigation of the body as a landscape through which the beauty and trauma of the Anthropocene is mirrored. Her work aims to provoke contemplative inquiry, taking shape as trauma informed dance, yoga, and performance research. Her offerings invite participants to investigate relationships between body, imagination, culture, and the more-than-human world. Morgan has worked as a ballet and contemporary dance educator and choreographer since 2004 and as a yoga and meditation teacher since 2012.
