Utam Moses is a dance theatre artist, teacher, and embodied theorist. She loves sharing dance as a space for all parts of the self to show up. She currently teaches at Indiana University Bloomington and the nonprofit, Windfall Dancers. Her work investigates movement as a catalyst for transformation, shifting states, and emergent community. She integrates play, embodied wonder, experimental theater and contemplation into her dance explorations. She wonders about how imagination helps open access to new ways of being human together. Utam received her B.S. in Kinesiology and Contemporary Dance (IU) with a focus in Anthropology of Dance and her M.A. in Performance Studies from Tisch (NYU). She has performed with Echo Theater Suitcase, Body Research (San Francisco, Ca) and WindshipDance (Nashville, TN) among others.

Her dance film, OVERANDOVER was a selected film for the Critical Mass: Contact Improvisation at 50 Festival and was shown at the Moving Body Festival and the Moving States Arts Film Series. Her most recent work, “Ordinary Pilgrimage,” was a devised intergenerational performance walk integrating meaningful spaces in downtown Bloomington, IN. It involved musicians, poets and dancers ranging from 6 weeks to 86, engaging new ways of seeing and being with each other. She is passionate about expanding access to dance, expression and the joy of storytelling through movement.
