Laura Holway is a choreographer and director, and creates Dances for Dull Moments- explorations of the place where movement meets film, text, and original sound, and where dance meets theatre. She is interested in collaboration, rituals of adulthood, dance parties, loneliness, and in art as a means of connection. Most importantly, Laura is interested in making thought-provoking dances accessible to a broad audience.

So--Laura aims for more unexpected collaborations, the documentation of more dance parties, and more gestural movement in theatre productions.
