Summary
Sarah Dahnke is an artistic director and choreographer who has spent 15+ years designing programs at the intersection of art, technology, and social justice, turning ambitious visions into sustainable, community-centered systems. She leads Dances for Solidarity—bridging incarcerated and free communities—runs multi-site residencies, and develops interactive narrative courses at NYU that fuse performance, narrative design, and creative coding. Her practice ranges from site-specific work and digital performances to archival systems (she built a digital archive for Marina Abramović’s work), and she has scaled initiatives like Dances for Solidarity to 250+ collaborators nationwide. Equally comfortable in administrative strategy and hands-on choreography, she creates platforms where artists can take risks, build networks, and reach new audiences.
