Lindsey Matheis has danced and devised movement for NW Dance Project, BODYTRAFFIC, Punchdrunk’s Sleep No More, Moving Forward Dance, and OddKnock Productions as well as for Operas Omaha, Philly, Washington National, and LA. She has choreographed for SALT, Missouri Contemporary Ballet, NW Dance Project, and has self-produced several dance festivals with the mission of bringing folks together. She enjoys freelance projects in any realm of commercial to analog because she can make new beautiful friends. She teaches movement, meditation, yoga, and is a licensed massage therapist. She loves resourcefulness. The rich connective tissue of storytelling through all the various methods our fleshy skin suits can (voice, hands writing words, full body moves) is a biological imperative, and she is most most most curious about continuing to swim in that quenching water for the rest of her days.
