Chloe A. Schafer (she/her) is a dance artist, scholar, teacher, and arts administrator. Her creative works are understated and whimsical; she asks the audience to lean in and pay attention to the subtle undercurrents of drama, quirk, defiance, and silliness. Her work has been presented across the Northeast United States, including by WAXworks in Brooklyn, Nacre Dance in Saratoga Springs, The Junction Dance Festival in White River Junction, among others. Chloe's research investigates aging and dance: their universality, culturally-specific formations, and mobilizing potential. Central in her study is gathering oral histories from aging artists about their ongoing careers and insights into aging and performance. She has presented at several conferences, most notably the Dance Studies Association's Symposia 'New Mobilities on the turn?' and UMass Amherst's Dance Conference ACCESS: Beyond the Proscenium. Alongside her creative and scholastic work, she continues to teach and choreograph at colleges across New England. Chloe works to cultivate a classroom of joy and possibility, a space for students to gather and grow what they need to be their most embodied and kind selves.
