Erin Kilmurray
Erin Kilmurray is a performer, choreographer, and teaching artist whose work is strongly influenced by dance and performance places acting as creative and social centers. Drawing upon a contemporary dance practice, space-making, and a long-standing relationship with theater and nightlife culture, she creates energetic, thoughtful, live performance exchanges that intentionally shift between immersive and proscenium formats, resonating in concert dance spaces, lo-fi galleries, music venues, parties, and film. Consequently, Kilmurray's choreography has been presented by the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, The Dance Center of Columbia College, Links Hall, Pivot Arts Festival, Metro Chicago, Empty Bottle Presents, Chicago Reader, Thalia Hall, and Salonathon.
Kilmurray is the creator/director/choreographer of The Fly Honey Show.
