Lily was Assistant Director and a Dance Maker at Open Dance Ensemble, a modern dance company in NYC ’23-24. She is also deeply involved in her Green Lake, Wisconsin home community, having worked for Levee Contemporary Art Gallery in Princeton WI, as a Server at Chops in Green Lake, and as a Server and Bartender at Knickerbocker Landing in Princeton.
Recent Works
Lily’s latest project Afterlives is a video series and album with interviews, poetry, music, and dance with contributions from over 4o talented artists and reflective interviewees, beckoned by the compelling question of what happens after death. As a Student Artist in Residence with the Movement Lab at Barnard College, she directed and produced two evening-length live performance works: Acqua Alta and Ultimate Catharsis 1. These multimedia works fused intellectual analysis with poetic subjectivity, to engage with historical frameworks of art and knowledge, and contemporary issues, that connected with and meaningfully engaged audiences. In the Spring of 2023, Lily founded Essence, an improvisational artistic research workshop.
