Cleo Person
Cleo Person is a dancer and collaborative artist, excited by opportunities to communicate through this wonderfully human art form and to share her love of movement with communities everywhere. Most recently, she performed José Limón’s “Concerto Grosso” at the Joyce Theater. Also while at Juilliard, she has had the privilege of dancing with her classmates at BAM Fisher alongside the Kate Weare Company, in New York City Center’s 11th annual Fall for Dance festival, alongside Brian Brooks Moving Company, and in Eliot Feld’s “The Jig is Up” in the The Chicago Dancing Festival 2014. She has performed works by Martha Graham, Paul Taylor, Agnes de Mille, and Ohad Naharin, among others. While she quite enjoys the magic of the stage, her favorite places to dance are in fields and meadows, on top of big rocks, and on her beloved San Diego beaches, where she grew up.
An ardent collaborator and community outreach enthusiast, Cleo is a founding member of the Arts Fusion Initiative, a diverse group of New York based artists who tour, teaching arts workshops in schools and presenting innovative collaborative performances across the country. Cleo also has taught at an arts camp for disadvantaged youth in Austin, Texas, in collaboration with the organization, Artists Striving to End Poverty. At the Juilliard School she holds a Gluck Community Service Fellowship, through which she creates and performs in New York City healthcare facilities - this year, with a trio of Jazz musicians. After graduation, she is looking forward to continuing to refine her expression as a physical being, while gaining time to explore more theatrical and text-driven forms of communication and to develop her passion for writing.
