BIOGRAPHY

Miriam Levy is an artist working with dance, performance and poetry, based between London and Oslo. 

They work exploring the relationship between personal and political, underpinned by a shifting queer perspective. They are particularly interested in care, community and rage.

They have recently been collaborating with Dawn Woolley on the project Rebel Selves, exploring gender and selfie culture. Miriam choreographed solo and group performances for the project, and a dance film that recently premiered in London.

They were commissioned to create a piece entitled Clips with Third Row Dance Company, looking at DIY hairdressing and community support. Other recent projects include creating a movement installation entitled Invisible Ink, exploring the search for a queer history you relate to. This was presented at Bermondsey Project Space and is part of an ongoing research collaboration with writer Rebecca Riddleston.

In 2022 their piece I Can't Work Under These Conditions was performed at Resolution Festival, at The Place theatre. They have also created the dance film Misshapen Pearl in collaboration with the Baroque viol consort Fretwork. This looks at the Baroque sensibility through a queer lens and has been screened at Dartington Music Festival and Bermondsey Project Space. 

As well as creating dance work, Miriam also has a practice of writing poetry. Several of their works have been published in t'ART Magazine's, including the Secret Thoughts issue. They also worked on the project Labanotation is a Bad System with Sunniva Moen Rørvik, which was shared at Dansverkstæðið, Iceland.

They have worked with choreographers such Alice+Synne, Ruby Portus and Good Chance Theatre and Sunniva Moen Rørvik. They also performed with Livia Rita and Avantgardeners Collective at the Brunel Museum. They have a particular interest in site-specific work and work performed outside of traditional theatre spaces.
