Abigail Levine

Abigail Levine is a choreographer and writer working in New York City. Called by The New York Times “an ingenious, imaginative, dryly witty writer” whose choreography is “at once funny, fascinating, and disturbing,” Levine’s work is rooted in dance, but moves across media—performance, text, drawing, sound. Her recent multi-year productions, Six Quiet Dogs (Target Margin Theater, 2025), Redactions (Chocolate Factory Theater, 2022) and Restagings (Fridman Gallery, 2017-ongoing) have been supported by fellowships and residencies at MacDowell, Bogliasco Foundation, Atlantic Center for the Arts, Los Angeles Performance Practice, Brooklyn Arts Exchange, and Center for Performance Research, and project and emergency grants from New York State Council on the Arts, Foundation for Contemporary Arts, New Music USA, and the Brooklyn Arts Council. Abigail collaborated with pioneering electronics composer Alvin Lucier on a staging of his Orpheus Variations (ISSUE Project Room, 2020) and performed with both Marina Abramovic and Yvonne Rainer in their retrospectives at the Museum of Modern Art. Abigail’s critical writing has been published in Documents in Contemporary Art, Art21, Women & Performance, Performance Art Journal (PAJ), Movement Research Performance Journal, and her creative works in Interim Poetics, Peripheries, La Vague Journal, and Imagined Theatres. Abigail has taught in the Dance Departments at Wesleyan University and Florida State University and is currently on faculty at The New School and University of Texas at Austin’s UTNY program.
