Caitlin Morgan is a full-time freelance creative: choreographer, dance and yoga teacher (RYT 200), and literary editor. She’s been facilitating movement classes—in various forms, styles, and across all ages—for over fourteen years, and has performed and trained professionally across the Midwest and New England. Her journey began with the Berrien County Dancers: a career preparatory program for Modern dance (chiefly Graham and Limón) with close ties to Chicago-based contemporary and jazz repertoire companies, including Hubbard Street Dance and Giordano Dance Chicago—both of which she studied with early on in her training. She holds a dual BFA in Dance and BA in English from Ohio University where she performed and collaborated on choreographies by Kyle Abraham, David Dorfman, Jasmine Hearn, Joanna Kotze, Kendra Portier, Ani Javian, Nathan Andary, Anna and the Annadroids, and the National Dance Company of Ghana (amongst others). Caitlin also trained professionally in NYC where she had the privilege of learning from numerous Bessie Award-winning artists and presenting work at the Mark Morris Dance Center, Teatro LATEA, Threes Brewing, The Actor’s Fund Arts Center, and Open Mice. Caitlin continues to engage in the field as both a soloist and member of Slow Shapes Dance Company (BTV), sharing her choreography and teaching whenever she can. 

Caitlin’s dance philosophy is largely inspired by ecosomatics—the belief that by deepening our own personal sense of embodiment, we develop a stronger sense of empathy for our environment and fellow beings. As such, she strives to create a space wherein each mover is empowered to: make (and understand) their own choices, release expectation to arrive at pleasure, find groundedness with their environment and fellow humans in the room, and ultimately honor the uniqueness of their own embodied voices. Her work as an artist is also commonly influenced by communication theories and literature, taking shape with influences from contemporary, jazz, floorwork/Flying Low, and Modern forms.
