Erin grew up attending Youth
Performing Arts School in Louisville, Kentucky. She studied dance, piano
and music theory at the University of Louisville. At the age of seventeen, Erin
moved to New York to study art history, dance, choreography,
and improvisation at the State University of New York at Purchase. She
joined the Erick Hawkins Dance Company in 2001 as a principal dancer and was featured in such works as New Moon (originally created in 1989). The Hawkins Company
successfully integrated dance with live music - such as Lucia Dlugoszewski’s
stark, experimental compositions - and art, exemplified in the sets designed by Louise Bourgeois, Robert Motherwell, and Ralph Dorazio.
While dancing with Hawkins, Erin also designed and created sets for the company's
performances.
Erin
has had several shows in NYC. She was commissioned to paint a
12’ x 18’ painting for a dance piece that premiered at Lincoln Center on April
1, 2005. She has had solo shows at the Wooster Arts Space in SoHo, and her work was exhibited in a group
show along with paintings by Basquiat and Hinmann. Since moving to the Hudson Valley,Erin has continued to
be active as a dancer, appearing in Susan Osberg's 'The Monk Project'.
Erin's studio is in New Paltz, New York. |
