Chris Harris

Choreographer, multidiciplinary artist, dancer, pedagogue, and movement and body nerd. Fascinated with how we understand art, dance, motion, and the psychology of performance and training. Focuses on self-knowledge, questioning, and exploration as a central tenet of learning.

My visual and installation art explores the possibility of encoding and translating live performance into another media, and questions the limitations of our ability to record movement. My practice includes movement meditation, choreography, and experimenting with painting, sculpture, and digital media to visually convey movement dynamics and choreographic relationships in time. My art represents a love of movement, discovery, layered pattern and color, and a recognition of the importance of a fully embodied truth.

In Greek mythology, Terpsichore (/tərpˈsɪkəriː/; Greek: Τερψιχόρη, "delight in dancing") is one of the nine Muses and goddess of dance and chorus. She lends her name to the word "terpsichorean", which means "of or relating to dance". - wikipedia
