Private Dancer is a kind of solo that Laura made in a partially finished house in Tillson, NY. Some of it was used in a showing of For the Hearts and Brains and Bodies of ME people in April 2018. Laura work-shopped this version on a proscenium stage at Bates Dance Festival where she was an artist in residence in 2018.
Currently Laura is letting go of the choreography, offering dance workshops in Maine and Brooklyn / transferring it to other bodies and remixing it alllll.

Private Dancer is supported in part by a Mertz Gilmore Late Stage Creative Stipend and a 2019 residency at Union Street Dance, in Brooklyn.
