"enthralling dancer, [who] uses her precision and dynamism" The New York Times
"an impish grin and heaps of enthusiasm" The Seahawk

Macy Sullivan (Camas, WA) is based in New York City and dances with Dance Heginbotham, The Chase Brock Experience, and Caleb Teicher & Company. She has also recently enjoyed projects with Pat Catterson and workshops through the Merce Cunningham Trust. In 2017, she made her short film debut in Alientologists, directed by Tyler Rabinowitz. Since 2013, she has performed annually in The Guggenheim Works & Process' Peter & the Wolf with Isaac Mizrahi. Prior, she originated the role of Marie in Chase Brock's The Nutcracker and was a featured tap dancer in Tyne Rafaeli's The Poor of New York (Off-Off-Broadway). She enjoys the thrills of performing on the international scale as well as domestically at venues such as The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Brooklyn Academy of Music, Lincoln Center, The Joyce, The Guggenheim, Baryshnikov Arts Center, and Jacob’s Pillow. She holds a BFA in Dance from The Juilliard School (Martha Hill Prize, John Erskine Prize, Choreographic Honors).
Sullivan has been teaching on the East Coast since 2008 and began teaching internationally in 2013. She frequently works with The Juilliard-Nord Anglia Performing Arts Program as a teaching artist and guest speaker/performer. Sullivan joined the faculty of Dance for PD® and Together in Dance in early 2017 after touring Southeast Asia (Laos, Indonesia, The Philippines) with Dance Heginbotham through DanceMotion USA (Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the US Department of State, produced by Brooklyn Academy of Music). While abroad, she gained experience teaching classes for students with mixed abilities (due to blindness, deafness, Down syndrome, Parkinson's disease, and/or missing limbs). In addition to teaching, Sullivan helped develop Education in Motion (Cayman Arts Festival/The Juilliard School), Middle School Boot Camp (New York City Department of Education/Lincoln Center Education), and Lincoln Center Kids! (Lincoln Center Education/The Juilliard School). She is a two-time recipient of the Goldman Arts Enrichment Teaching Fellowship in partnership with Harlem School of the Arts and has additionally enjoyed teaching through volunteer organizations such as Artists Striving to End Poverty and The New Orleans Project. Many thanks to The School of Oregon Ballet Theatre for the first opportunity to dive into this line of work.
A three-time recipient of the Gluck Community Service Fellowship, which brings performing artists to New York City healthcare facilities, Sullivan gained experience creating multidisciplinary work shortly after arriving in New York City and has been eagerly creating since then. Most recently, she premiered a multimedia, high-tech, interactive work with her collaborators in Beyond the Machine 15.1 through the inaugural InterArts program, produced by The Juilliard School’s Center for Innovation in the Arts. In 2015, she also began choreographing for actors through Classic Stage Company’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream (Dir. Tyne Rafaeli) and Keen Teens Festival’s The Astonishing and Dangerous History of Mazefield the Frog (Dir. Tyne Rafaeli). In 2012, she performed in ChamberFest's first interdisciplinary collaboration at The Juilliard School. Sullivan’s early collaborations with jazz composers Kyle Athayde and Samora Pinderhughes received Choreographic Honors from The Juilliard School. Other works have been performed at Judson Memorial Church, 92nd Street Y, and The Tank.
Sullivan has worked as a rehearsal director for Dance Heginbotham, Caleb Teicher & Company, and Dartmouth Dance Ensemble, and she has worked as an assistant to Caleb Teicher and Chase Brock on new creations through Broadway Dance Lab and Barnard College, respectively. In 2017, she staged Chase Brock's solo, Poor Suzette, for performance at Barnard College. In 2011, she assisted Josie Moseley in creating and setting a White Bird-commission on the Martha Graham Dance Company, later appearing on PBS in an Oregon Art Beat documentary. At 15, Sullivan began directing children's rehearsals for Oregon Ballet Theatre's production of George Balanchine's The Nutcracker.
In 2003, Sullivan represented the United States of America in the World Tap Dance Championships in Ljubljana, Slovenia and was unanimously awarded the First Place Title.
Sullivan has always had a passion for science and was thrilled to revisit it in 2009 as an Artist in Residence at the American Psychological Association's Catalyst Project for emerging chemists. Her writing has been featured in Jill Randall's "My Dance Week" and The Juilliard Journal, and she has been invited as a guest lecturer for emerging artists at The Juilliard School and The New School.
