Karen Sherman (Minneapolis, MN) draws from a background in theater, dance, design, music and handyman-arts to create projects noted for their visuality, inventive movement, emphasis on performance presence and bucking of dance orthodoxy. She strives to make sentient, socially relevant work that upends conventional structure, interrupts anticipated trajectories and questions expectations about dance as a form. She also performs in the work of other artists and has worked nearly every facet of arts production as a producer, curator, production manager, administrator and technician. Her work has been presented nationally by P.S. 122, Walker Art Center, The Southern Theater, Movement Research at the Judson Church, Highways, ODC and many others. Recent honors include a 2007 New York Dance and Performance Award (a Bessie), a McKnight Choreography Fellowship, a Minnesota Sage Dance Award and a MacDowell Colony Fellowship. Sherman holds a BFA in acting from New York University.
